RAFAEL PINTO

Black Belt 2nd Degree

Professor Rafael Pinto’ passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu emerged early on in his life. At the age of 17, he began training at Gracie Barra Brasilia under the guidance of Professor Eliezer Dutra, a 4th degree black belt. His initial interests were in self defense and fitness, but he quickly developed the desire to compete. Professor Rafael dreamed of opening his own school and so he moved to the U.S. in 2008 from Unai, Minas Gerais, Brazil. While leaving his family was the hardest decision of his life, their support encouraged him to pursue his dreams. Just two years later, in 2010, Professor Rafael’s dream of owning his own school became a reality and he, along with his wife Ana Laura, opened GB Rancho Cucamonga. In 2011 he earned his black belt under Master Carlos Gracie Jr. Professor Rafael has gone on to win….. Professor Rafael is dedicated to teaching his students BJJ techniques and philosophies. He strives to nurture their love of the sport and to make it a way of life. He particularly enjoys teaching the children’s classes. Watching them develop into confident, disciplined individuals is what he says BJJ is all about.
