Black Belt Lineage - Head Instructor
My Jiu-Jitsu journey began in Indaiatuba, Brazil, under Professor Rodrigo Farol. I later taught kids and adults at Gracie Barra North Phoenix — home of GB North America, GB Online, and GB Events — and helped edit official GB curriculum and instructor training videos used worldwide.
In Tyler, TX, I launched the city’s first women-only GBF class, creating a safe and empowering space for women on the mats.
Today, I serve as Head Coach at Gracie Barra Tyler and lead our expansion across the Dallas–Fort Worth region, including the opening of Gracie Barra Highland Village.
I’m proudly under Professor Flavio Almeida, one of the first students of GB’s original school in Barra da Tijuca, Brazil. He helped Master Carlos Gracie Jr. bring Jiu-Jitsu to North America and Canada, shaping the movement we carry on today.
Black Belt Lineage - Head Instructor
Gabriel Arges began his martial arts journey in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, starting with Muay Thai at age 14 before transitioning to Jiu-Jitsu. He earned his black belt under Professor Romulo Barral, one of the most respected figures in the sport, and quickly rose to prominence for his precise guard and calm under pressure.
A 3x IBJJF World Champion, Arges also holds major titles like the Pan Ams, European Open, and Abu Dhabi World Pro. Beyond competition, he’s committed to teaching and mentoring students through seminars, instructional content, and daily leadership on the mats.
He is the owner of Gracie Barra Thousand Oaks in California and Gracie Barra Frisco in Texas — where he builds strong communities through Jiu-Jitsu, discipline, and respect.
Today, Professor Arges continues to inspire the next generation, balancing world-class technique with the values and mindset that define a true martial artist.
