Gui Valente

Gui Valente

Gui Valente (born Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is a Brazilian Gracie Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. Born into the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu tradition, he began learning Jiu-Jitsu from his father as soon as he learned how to walk. At age three, Gui was already taking private lessons from Grandmaster Hélio Gracie. Growing up, he trained daily at the original Gracie Academy in Rio de Janeiro under Hélio, Royler, and Rolker Gracie. Throughout his training they had the privilege to learn from all the Gracie Brothers: Rorion Gracie, Relson, Rickson Gracie, Rolker, Royler Gracie, Royce Gracie, and Robin.

Personal History

"Professor" Gui Valente was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. In 1999, Gui moved to South Florida to attend Barry University and help his brother, Pedro Valente with the Academy. By this time Valente Gracie Miami was officially opening as the home of authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in South Florida. Gui's excellent instruction skills combined with his technical fighting styles allowed him to receive the Black belt at the early age of 21 directly from grandmaster Hélio Gracie. In 2001 Gui was awarded the coveted Professor's Diploma. This was a great accomplishment and honor in light of the fact that in 75 years only 25 people, including members of the Gracie family received this diploma from grandmaster Hélio Gracie.
