Professor Gazze

When Paulo Gazze Junior was 16 years old he had a big fight with a one of his sister’s classmates, the boy (who was a Jiu Jitsu blue belt at the time) broke both of Paulo’s arms and left Gazze just as impressed as he was injured. As soon as he recovered, Paulo decided to learn BJJ, he found out where the boy that injured him trained and joined that same class.

In 1998, he moved to Huntington Beach, California, and continued his Jiu Jitsu success, including a notable victory over BJ Penn. He earned his black belt from Max Trombini in a ceremony at Joe Moreira’s academy in the U.S.

Gazze’s Jiu-Jitsu Achievements Include:

5x European champion
5x São Paulo State champion
2x Pan American champion

Gazze also competed in professional MMA, defeating top fighters like Chris Leben and training alongside UFC legends such as Tito Ortiz, Mauricio Shogun, and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
