Mauricio Gomes is one of only a handful of Coral Belts (7th degree) in the world and a direct student of Rolls Gracie. Known as the “Father of British Jiu Jitsu,” he brought BJJ to the UK in the late 1990s and helped build the foundation on which Roger Gracie Academy and all affiliated schools stand today.
