In 2017, he became the first (and only) black belt in history to complete the Super Slam by winning all 5 major tournaments (ADCC, World Championship, Pan Championship, European Championship, and Brazilian Nationals) in a single year. Cobrinha received his black belt under Fernando “Terere” Augusto in 2005 and is a member of Alliance Jiu-Jitsu. Since being awarded his black belt, he has won nearly every World Jiu-Jitsu Championship in which he has competed – a total of 13.
