Teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu will be Leonardo Seixas (better known as “GloGlo”) who started training Jiu-Jitsu in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1989 at the age of 13. Leonardo's first academy was the headquarters of Grandmaster Helio Gracie, Gracie Humaita, located inside of his school (Colegio Padre Antonio Vieira). In the Academy he received private and group classes from Masters Rolker and Royler Gracie.
In 1992, Leonardo moved to Barra da Tijuca and trained with the founder of both Gracie-Barra and the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation, Master Carlos Gracie Jr. He graduated ten years later, receiving his black belt from Master Carlos Gracie Jr.
At Gracie-Barra, his training partners and close friends consisted of some of the greatest Jiu-Jitsu fighters in the world, such as: Mauricio Mariano “Tinguinha”, Roberto “Gordo”, Alexandre “Soca”, Antonio “Nino” Schembri, Vinicius “Draculino”, Helio “Soneca”, Joao Paulo “Big-Head”, Marcio “Pe de Pano”, Marcio Feitosa, and many others as well as Gracie family members such as Renzo, Ralph, Ryan, Rollezinho, Igor, and Roger. This training allowed him to become a Heavy Weight class fighter with the agility and technical skills of a Light Weight.
In Parallel to his training at the Barra Gracie Academy, he also started teaching Jiu-Jitsu classes in 1996. In his 13 years of teaching, he has developed many Jiu-Jitsu champions.
