Newest GB family member my daughter! Annabella


My BEAUTIFUL baby girl Annabella Sophia Ribeiro was born March 4 2010 8bs and 4oz.

Official IBBJF & USBJJF recognized school!




IBJJF- International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation




USBJJF- United States Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation




It doesn't get more official than this! Professor Paulo Ribeiro and Gracie Barra Naples are now internationally recognized by the top organization in the world! As an official IBBJF & USBJJF recognized Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school; and Prof. Paulo Ribeiro a recognized 2nd degree black belt. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is now seeing its fair share of well warranted popularity but with the good also comes the bad so because of this we are also seeing a lot of wannabes schools, where non certified and unqualified people are teaching BJJ. So watch out when looking for a school to train at, make sure the people who TEACH have credentials and enough experience to teach you or your children. Check out www.usbjjf.org/blackbelts.htm
