GF Team leader Julio Cesar Pereira has entered IBJJF Euros in the master's divisions, a return to competition for the long-time master of one of Brazilian jiu-jitsu's biggest teams. Pereira, also known as 'Mestre Julio', will be competing in the Master 7 medium-heavy division.
Julio Cesar is the founder of the Grappling Fight Team, and before that was the leader of the Gama Filho team. The Rio-based team has produced great competitors for years, with many locations now existing worldwide.
Mestre Julio is an 8th-degree coral belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, meaning he wears a red & white belt as a signifier of his time and mastery in the art. He is also a black belt in judo. Masters 7 is the oldest IBJJF age designation, with all competitors being over 60 years old.
