Eduardo Granzotto Biography

Eduardo Granzotto was born on March 25, 2003, in Curitiba, the capital of the southern Brazilian state of Paraná, but moved to Rio de Janeiro when he was 18 months old.

In Rio de Janeiro, Dudu lived with his family in a famous South Zone (Zona Sul) slum named Cantagalo. A place that is very familiar to the jiu-jitsu community for its production of a wide number of accomplished kimono specialists. It was there that Grazotto initiated his journey in this sport at the age of 7, influenced by his father who was a martial arts fan and practiced boxing in a local martial arts club.

Grazotto started grappling at a famous non-profit jiu-jitsu project named VB Team Cantagalo, an association started by Ricardo Vieira a few years prior to Dudu’s birth (1997). Eduardo’s first steps on the mats were taken under the guidance of Vieira and another of the gym’ coaches, Douglas Rufino.

As a child, Dudu Grazotto started making waves in jiu-jitsu’s media as one of the brightest young stars in the sport due to his repeated wins on the national stage, a success that led Eduardo to make the decision to become a full-time athlete by his 13th birthday.

Led by Ricardo Vieira, Eduardo Grazotto’s career outgrew the national scene into a global success, particularly in North America, where he conquered numerous important titles. It was during one of his stays in the United States, shortly after the IBJJF World Championships of June 2023, that Dudu Grazotto was promoted to the black belt rank, at the Checkmat Headquarters Academy in California.
