GloGlo BJJ is led by founder Leonardo Seixas, known as “GloGlo,” who began his Jiu-Jitsu journey in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1989 at age 13. He trained at the Gracie Humaita headquarters under Grandmaster Helio Gracie, receiving private and group lessons from Masters Rolker and Royler Gracie, and later trained with Master Carlos Gracie Jr., founder of Gracie-Barra and the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation. After about a decade of training, he earned his black belt from Master Carlos Gracie Jr. and began teaching Jiu-Jitsu classes in 1996, giving him 28 years of teaching experience and a history of nurturing several Jiu-Jitsu champions. He also gained experience organizing the Brazilian, Pan American, and World Championships with the Confederacao Brasileira de Jiu-Jitsu.
