Professor Sergio was born and raised in Sao Paulo Brazil.

Sérgio got to know Jiu Jitsu 26 years ago and started training at the CBA academy with Professor Júlio Mariano, formed by master Roberto Godoi of the G13 BJJ academy, after a few years as a purple belt he had to leave because of work, but when he moved with his wife to the USA in the state of New Jersey, soon he returned to training with Professor George Sernack trained by Master Renzo Gracie. After almost 4 years, he moved with his wife to the state of Illinois/Chicago, where he immediately started training at Gracie Barra Libertyville with Professor Jamil Fakhoury trained by Professor Carlos Lemos, where he was promoted to brown and black belt. His biggest passion is being with his family as much time as he can and his other passion is being on the mat, learning, and sharing with friends who become our family.
