Tarcisio Jardim Biography
Paulo Tarcisio was born on the 4th of July, 1983 in João Pessoa – State of Paraíba, Brazil. He started training Jiu Jitsu at the age of 15 due to his brother’s influence (Jose Carlos), who wanted Tarcisio to learn how to defend himself. His brother did not practice BJJ himself but he had a friend that did, and it was at this friend’s gym that Tarcisio started.
His first instructor was Nivaldo Cordeiro, a black belt under the legendary Ivan Gomes, but Paulo Tarcisio would soon move to a different gym run by Luiz Barboza. It was under Barboza’s guidance that Paulo progressed through Jiu Jitsu’s ranks, earning his blue, purple and brown belt at this academy. He also trained extensively with Helder Medeiros, one of the top instructors in the state of Paraíba. On on the 16th of February 2008, Leonardo Vieira and his brother Ricardo Vieira, two of the main Checkmat BJJ coaches awarded Paulo his black belt .
