Francisco Sá was born December 17th, 1935 in the remote town of Senador Pompeu, about 125 miles from the main city of Fortaleza. His first exposure to Jiu-Jitsu came through a weekly illustrated publication called "Cruzeiro." The magazine contained pictures of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques demonstrated by the Helio Gracie. He also spent some time training with one of George Gracie’s students, Mr Nilo Veloso. In his late teens, Master Francisco Sá decided to move to Recife in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil to follow a career in the Brazilian Air Force. While in Recife, Francisco Sá discovered that a jiu jitsu master named Takeo Iano was teaching in the area. He immediately sought out the Japanese martial artist, and started learning from the former Kodokan academy standout. In Recife, Francisco Sá dedicated all his time and effort to Jiu Jitsu, and in 6 years he made it from white belt to the rank of instructor under Takeo Iano.
After years of training in Recife, Master Sá decided to return to his home state to be closer to his family. There he opened his first academy, which was called "Central Ringue Club" later to be renamed as "Academia Professor Sá" (Professor Sá Academy).
