Pedro Ramalho, also known as “Paquito”, is a Portuguese black belt who made waves in Abu Dhabi last November, during the ADWPJJC 2023.
In the 77kg division, Ramalho went through the bracket like a freight train, submitting every opponent on his way to the final, in which he triumphed over ADWPJJC 2022 champion Lucas Protasio to become the reigning champion.
With his technical know-how and his powerful guard game, Pedro is a strong contender to emerge as the winner on the ADXC battlefield.

Considered one of the best European black belts of his division, Max Lindblad took it upon himself to further the reach of the gentle art in his homeland of Sweden, acting as a head coach at Stark Jiu-Jitsu.
Outside of teaching, Lindblad is also a fierce competitor who made appearances at both ADGS London and the ADWPJJC 2023, defeating the likes of Lucas Protasio and Espen Mathiesen on AJP mats.
Does he have what it takes to succeed at the merciless ADXC cage? Only time will tell.
