In 2011, as an already accomplished athlete, Professor Gustavo moved to the United States of America to teach the art and further his career as a high-level Jiu-Jitsu competitor. A few years later he met Saulo and Xande Ribeiro through a mutual friend of theirs. It was not long before he became a great friend as well as an excellent training partner to the Ribeiro brothers. He was chosen to be part of The U's teaching staff for his many great qualities as an instructor. Professor Gustavo affirms that through Jiu-Jitsu, he has learned to never lose faith and the importance of perseverance. Gustavo now spends much of his time in San Diego teaching, surfing and living the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu lifestyle. |
