Rodrigo Munduruca

As of January 2020, he has promoted over 40 martial artists to the rank of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt across Canada. Professor Rodrigo opened his own Gracie Humaitá academy in Winnipeg, Manitoba and currently has six affiliated gyms throughout Canada and two in Mexico. He currently resides in San Diego County with his wife and two children, and is now teaching at 7 Spears Martial Arts in Poway, CA. As successful as he has been teaching and coaching adults, Professor Rodrigo actually specializes in teaching kids’ classes. He is gentle, patient, and respectful to the kids and they respond well to his kind, fun yet firm, approach to teaching the art of Jiu-Jitsu.
