About Gustavo Dantas
Gustavo Dantas is a Martial Arts entrepreneur, 5th degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the owner of GD Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Tempe, Arizona. Gustavo’s vision is to Inspire, Impact and improve the lives of others and he applies this vision to both his personal and professional life.
Gustavo is a Public Speaker and published author as well as Certified High Performance, Mental & Life Coach with a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education.
Gustavo left Brazil in 1999 at the age of 24 with twenty-seven hundred dollars, two bags, his tourist visa, and one teenage dream: To open up an academy and make his living through his passion, Jiu-Jitsu.
The Gustavo Dantas Jiu-Jitsu Academy was established in Tempe, Arizona on March 6th, 2012, re-enforcing the statement, “Believe in yourself, believe in your dreams. Hard work pays off”. In 2021 the academy has over 300 hundred students from 4 to 60 years old learning from World Class coaches.
Gustavo was the Jiu-Jitsu coach of the Mixed Martial Arts Gym, Arizona Combat Sports for eleven years, where he achieved his 2-0 MMA Record. During that time, Gustavo started the mission of promoting Jiu-Jitsu in the State of Arizona. He is president of the Arizona Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu League. Gustavo turned a small, 40 competitor, “in-house” tournament in 2001 to an impressive 5000 competitors per year in 2021, helping Arizona to be recognized as one of the Jiu-Jitsu power houses in the United States, putting Gustavo on the map as one of the most consistent promoters in the World for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
In 2012 he co-founded the 501 c3 nonprofit organization Jiu-Jitsu Tribe. JJJ supports social projects in Brazil and the United States who offer free jiu-jitsu classes to unprivileged children and young adults in impoverished communities, inspiring, impacting and improving their lives, helping to keep them away from drugs & crime, and to inspire them to pursue their goals and dreams.
