The Unusual Journey Of Gabriel Moraes- World Champion At Blue Belt In 2003 & Black Belt In 2004!

 

 

What do the Ribeiro brothers, Jose Aldo, Ari Farias, Jacare and Gabriel Moraes have in common?

They were all born in this city in the middle of the Amazon jungle, right next to Black River called Manaus. To most this name doesn’t ring a bell, but if you follow the top level Jiu-Jitsu competitors, you probably heard about it.

Another unique fact about Gabriel is that he won the World’s as Blue belt in 2003 and in 2004 he returned to the top of the podium as a black belt, skipping two belts in the process!

Discipline, heart and determination fall short to describe Gabrielzinho. Even more incredible is how he once again won the world championship at black belt 9 years later in 2013.

Gabriel Moraes is also one of the very selected group of competitors to have submitted Caio Terra in competition.
