GILBERTO SARAIVA (Giba)
Jiu-Jitsu Trainer
Hey there, I'm Gilberto, but everyone knows me as Giba. At 28, I'm passionate about Jiu-Jitsu and proud to be the Head Coach at Checkmat Daphne. With 11 years of dedication to the art, I earned my black belt under Sebastian Lalli.
My journey in Jiu-Jitsu has been both as a competitor and a coach. For the past 8 years, I've competed professionally, clinching titles such as European Silver Medalist at IBJJF, Brazilian National AJP Champion, Pan American Champion at IBJJF, American National Champion at IBJJF, and numerous victories at International Opens.
For the last 6 years, I've been coaching both adults and kids, fostering their growth and helping them achieve their goals on and off the mats. Coaching at Checkmat Daphne for the past 5 years has been incredibly rewarding. It's not just about training bodies; it's about shaping character, instilling discipline, and fostering a sense of community.
Jiu-Jitsu has given me so much, and I'm dedicated to giving back to the community that has shaped me. Through coaching, I aim to pass on the invaluable lessons I've learned, empowering others to discover their potential and thrive in their own journeys. Whether it's on the competition mat or in the dojo, I'm here to support and guide each individual towards success.
