Guilherme Augusto Biography

Guilherme Augusto was born on June 10, 1992, in the state of São Paulo – Brazil. Although he was born close to the northern borders of the state, Guilherme moved to the east side (Itaquera) at the age of two, where he grew up.

Jiu-jitsu appeared in Guilherme Augusto’s life at the age of 11. He was a shy kid with low self-esteem and his father believed martial arts could help boost the confidence of his young boy, as he himself also trained regularly.

Augusto’s first instructor was Everdan Olegário, the main figure of the Cohab Jiu Jitsu academy, also known as “Mestre Dan”. At the Cohab team – one of the most well-known affiliates of the Alliance Academy, Dan graded Augusto in all his belts, including his black belt on the 4th of July 2015. A promotion that came after a tremendous brown belt campaign (2014/2015) where Guilherme beat some of the best brown belts in the world.
