Professor David
2nd-degree Black Belt
ICP 2025
A 2nd-degree black belt under Professor Philipe Della Monica, Professor David has been a part of Gracie Barra Headquarters since 2009. A Top 10 IBJJ athlete, a dedicated team player, and above all — a passionate Professor.
"I started teaching to support my team, whether it was to help them fulfill family obligations, travel to corner for UFC fights, or lessen their workload. Over time, it became apparent how much I loved it, but I remain driven with a purpose to serve my team. I am excited to bring that same passion to the community and Gracie Barra Pasadena!"
