Timeline
Lucas Martial Arts career would start even before he was born, with his father Silvio “Urutum” Rodrigues being a Vale Tudo fighter before MMA even existed
Everyday after school the Rodrigues family would spend the rest of their day at the academy, training different Martial Arts, from Boxing to Wrestling, and eventually Jiu Jitsu
At 11 years old Lucas won his first gold medal at a Local Jiu Jitsu tournament, alongside his younger brother Mateus Rodrigues
At 16 Lucas got promoted to Blue belt while his brother got his Green belt and their father finally got awarded his Black Belt
During the next years Lucas and Mateus would start winning several major tournaments across Brazil becoming known teenager athletes
At 17 Lucas traveled abroad for the first time, competing at his first Worlds IBJJF as a juvenile, getting a bronze medal, but a lot of experience for his career
At 18 Lucas finally won his first Nogi World tittle after spending a month training in the United States, and that would be the beginning of the biggest change of his life
During the following year’s Gi worlds, Lucas lost the first fight of the tournament and was eliminated out of the competition…
…but a couple of months later Lucas had a second chance and won his second World Tittle
Now living in Sweden and traveling to USA to prepare for every big Tournament, Lucas was determined to become the best he could be
The hard work was paying off and during the year of 2018 Lucas had become one of the best in the World after winning Worlds for the third time
2019 was different.
After developing a eating disorder, Lucas had a hard time making weight and his competitions results went downhill
As life got back to normal after Covid 19, Lucas got promoted to Black Belt
Just one month after being promoted, a neck injury took him out of training and competition for the next season
The time away from competition helped Lucas learn how to deal with his eating problems, and heal his neck. During the same period, opening his own Academy became his new goal
During Lucas’ comeback he managed to win every single competition with flawless performances, ending the year with a gold medal at Europeans Nogi and announcing the name of his future Academy - AURA
2023 AURA was founded and the work to inspire and guide others started
Today Lucas’ work with AURA transcends his career as an athlete, and is working daily with his students to create an academy which has never been seen before
CULTURE
Jiu Jitsu is known as one of the most intellectual martial art ever created. The only way to be actually good at it, is through constant study to figure the best solution for a problem or situation you might face, just like in any other aspects of life.
That is the environment we want to create, where every member of the academy can come together to solve any hardship, in jiu jitsu or in life.
Our academy is known not only as one of the best training facilities in Sweden, but as a safe space for all types of people. We have a no tolerance policy towards racist, homo or xenophobic behaviours.
Our values set the atmosphere of the academy.
