About Sapão
Carlos 4th degree black belt with 31 years experience practicing, training, teaching and competing.
“I began jiu jitsu at age 6 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I accomplished many jiu jitsu titles in Brazil and internationally. Competing in adults divisions since age 13, I won my first major title at age 16 (Pan American Champion 1997- Blue Belt Adults division). Since then I’ve competed for 20 years straight being known for my “impassable guard”.
I became a black belt at the young age of 21 yrs old.
Because I competed for so many years in the beginning of my career, I decided to share and become a full-time jiu jitsu teacher.
In 2009, I opened my first school in San Francisco, CA. focusing less on tournaments and more on community- spreading out the jiu jitsu knowledge and benefits for each individual to have a better living.
That’s when I came to realize the jiu jitsu I learned from the Gracie family is bigger than the competition scene and instead for the betterment of the people.
Currently, I am Head Instructor at CS Jiu Jitsu San Francisco and continue connecting jiu jitsu with communities across the globe. “
Titles and Accomplishments:
- Too many to count.
- They don’t matter anymore.
- The picture is bigger, brighter, and with an endless journey of learning.
