Pedro Sauer: A Pioneer of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the United States
Pedro Sauer, an 8th degree coral belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, is a highly respected figure in the martial arts world. Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Sauer began his martial arts journey at the tender age of five, starting with boxing and later expanding his repertoire to include judo and taekwondo.
At the age of 15, Sauer's life took a pivotal turn when his friend, Rickson Gracie, invited him to train jiu-jitsu with his younger brother, Royler Gracie. This experience convinced Sauer of the effectiveness of jiu-jitsu, and he began training at the Gracie academy the very next day.
Sauer's training under the tutelage of Helio and Rickson Gracie took place during a crucial time when Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was transitioning from an obscure art to a worldwide phenomenon. While pursuing a double major in Economics and Business Administration, Sauer worked as a stockbroker in Brazil for eleven years before deciding to move to the United States to teach jiu-jitsu.
As part of the first generation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructors to bring the art to the United States, Sauer played a significant role in the growth and popularity of BJJ. He lived and trained daily with the Gracie brothers, their father Helio, and other notable figures such as Renzo Gracie and the Machado Brothers.
In December 1990, Sauer moved to Utah, where he began pioneering Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in the American southwest. He established the Pedro Sauer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Association, which has grown to become one of the largest and most respected Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Associations in the world, with over 100 academies under his guidance.
Sauer's contributions to the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu have been widely recognized. In 2005, he was voted the "Best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Instructor" in the world by an online poll conducted by the Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC) website. He is highly sought after for his seminars and workshops, and has developed numerous high-level black belts throughout his career.
In 2006, Master Sauer relocated to Herndon, Virginia, where he established the world headquarters for the Pedro Sauer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Association. His lineage traces back to the legendary Mitsuyo Maeda, through Carlos Gracie, Helio Gracie, and Rickson Gracie, making him a direct link to the very roots of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Pedro Sauer's dedication, expertise, and pioneering spirit have made him an iconic figure in the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and his contributions continue to shape the art's growth and development around the globe.
