We are very excited to welcome Patrick Gaudio to the team.

Patrick is one of the best competitors of the current generation, gi and no gi, and we are extremely excited to partner with him.

According to our friends at BJJ Heroes:

Patrick Gaudio is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, a rank awarded by his father Fabiano Gaudio in 2014. Patrick became recognized as one of the top grapplers of his generation while competing in the lower belt divisions of the sport where he often represented the Top Brother academy. He would later shift for GF Team and train extensively with Theodoro Canal with whom he conquered his brown belt IBJJF Worlds title and a UAEJJF Abu Dhabi Pro before joining the black belt division, there Gaudio’s outstanding performances cemented his claim as one of the best in jiu-jitsu.
