Meet the Business Owner

Ricardo B.

Business Owner

Ricardo was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil and began his martial arts career at the early age of five when he began taking Judo classes. When he was 18, he passed by a Brazilian Jiu-​Jitsu academy and was captivated. Ricardo didn’t have any money to train, so the owner let him work his tuition by cleaning the bathrooms and the mats everyday. After about a year of training, Ricardo began to train with the late Ryan Gracie, from whom he received his purple and brown belt. Ricardo came to the United States in 2003 and received his black belt from Ralph Gracie the same year.

One of Ricardo’s greatest achievements in life is being able to help people learn jiu-​jitsu. He likes to help people see life differently through jiu-​jitsu. He believes that jiu-​jitsu is the true self-​defense, and that through jiu-​jitsu you can train your body, your mind, and your spirit.
