    I had the honor of sitting down with my Professor and hearing some of his long martial journey that first began with capoeira, transitioning to jiujitsu, and mixed martial arts. Professor Marcelo “Uirapuru” Azevedo is a 6th degree black belt under Master Draculino and owns, along with his wife Professor Mariana, Gracie Barra Pearland. Professor Marcelo is also a multiple Brazilian Jiujitsu World Champion and one of the early generations of jiujitsu.
