About Us
Eduardo Santoro was born on the 26 of April, 1976 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Santoro started training jiu jitsu when he was 18 years old in his native city. He progressed through the ranks in Cia Paulista becoming one of the team’s main competitors.
When Eduardo Santoro reached his purple belt, jiu jitsu was already the main ambition in his life, this was why he decided to start teaching BJJ as an assistant instructor at the academy, and it was also when Portuguese was a purple belt that he conquered one of his most prestigious titles at the world championships, becoming the open weight champion (1998), settling himself as one of the hottest prospects in the sport.
Eduardo Santoro received his black belt in 2001 from the hands of Max Trombini, one of Cia Paulista’s leading figures. Eduardo continued testing himself in tournaments all around the world being famous for competing regularly in the adult division (and medaling consistently) when well in his 30’s.
