Pedro Agrizzi Biography

Pedro Agrizzi was born on May 21, 1993, in Guarapari, a coastal city located in the Brazilian state of Espirito Santo.

Martial arts appeared early in Pedro’s life as his parents enrolled him in a judo class at the age of 6. Agrizzi’s father was a former judoka himself, and gym owner, as such, sports were always present as an integral part of the young Espirito Santo native’s upbringing.

Although his judo experience was somewhat short-lived, as Pedro grew into his pre-teens, he developed a passion for mixed martial arts, particularly keen on the Pride FC promotion, where many Brazilian No-Holds-Barred legends competed. This love for MMA, and the Rodrigo Minotauro x Mark Coleman match, in particular, led Agrizzi to return to grappling, this time joining a local classroom led by coach João “Neguinho”, in 2006.

Coach João guided Pedro for the early 6 months of his jiu-jitsu development but ended up pursuing another path, leaving the workgroup after that period. Already very interested in jiu-jitsu at the time, Pedro decided to join coach Thiago Oliveira Dutra – today, widely regarded as one of the references of jiu-jitsu in Guarapari.

Dutra remained as Agrizzi’s instructor from white to black belt, promoting Pedro to the sport’s top division in 2016, after Agrizzi’s solid performances at the IBJJF Pan American and World Championships.
