The school of Borges Karate Jiu-Jitsu was started in 1995 by Sensei J. Borges, a student of
Master John Almeida.  At the time, Sensei Borges only accepted three students.  The class
he taught was brutal, very demanding, old school karate.  Peter, Duane, and Rick were the
three original students.  These students became a force to reckon with.  
As years passed, Sensei J. Borges was asked if he would accept more students. It took a
while to convince Sensei J. Borges, but he decided to give it a try.  He started to teach all
ages, from minors to adults, some older than him.  There were only two classes a week that
Sensei Borges taught, because he still trained under Master John Almeida three nights a
week and competed in point tournaments, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts.  
Today, Sensei Borges says that what he teaches is what he has experienced in life.  Old
and new students who train under Sensei Borges learn more than how to fight.  They learn
how to walk through this world with confidence, no matter what they do in life, may it be
work, school, or just doing every day tasks.  
We all need peace in our lives, no matter where it comes from.  
Sensei Borges teaches what he knows from the heart and his students learn through life
experiences, not just blocks, kicks and punches.  One might say that he provides his
students with the tools that prepare them to deal with whatever life throws at them
whether it be with knowledge, or blocks, kicks and punches.  He teaches his students to
always remember:  "You learn to fight so you do not have to fight."  -Master John Almeida
