Career

[edit | edit source]

Julio Cesar Pereira was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 22 December 1964.[1] Pereira started training Jiu Jitsu from the age of 10 under Monir Salomão, founder of the Academia Monir de Jiu-Jitsu, and an Oswaldo Fadda black belt.[1] Pereira also trained Judo and Luta Livre. Pereira trained under Salomão until he received his black belt.[4]

In 1996 Pereira started coaching the grappling team of the Gama Filho University, alongside Marcus Bello and Alexandre Baraúna. In 2007 following the closing of the university's grappling program, Pereira founded a new team with the same group of fighters, independent of the university, called Grappling Fight Team (GFTeam).[1] To help athletes from humble background Pereira set up at the GFT headquarters, based out of the neighbourhood of Meier in Rio's north zone, a fighter house named Cachanga.[5] Under Pereira's leadership, the team became one of the most accomplished competition teams in jiu-jitsu, producing countless champions such as Rodolfo Vieira, Mayssa Bastos, Gutemberg Pereira, or Vitor Oliveira.[6] His coaching method is known to be based on a traditional high level jiu jitsu style through "very detailed technique tuition", "positional concepts" and "extensive sparring".[7]

In 2016, after 31 years at black belt, Pereira received his 7th degree coral belt in jiu jitsu from the IBJJF.[8] In 2018 he moved to Orange County, California that same year he won the South America IBJJF Master International, a traditional championship in the Olympic Park of Barra da Tijuca of Rio,[9] gathering the best South American BJJ veterans, Pereira won in the Master-Five medium heavyweight division.[10]
