Jefferson Goteu Biography

Jefferson Goteu was born on December 17, 2001, in the city of Natal, in Brazil’s northeastern state Rio Grande do Norte.

As part of a non-profit project organized by the Parnamirim Municipal Hall, jiu-jitsu black belt Edinaldo Beleza started teaching kids in Goteu’s neighborhood. Jefferson was one of the first to sign up. He was 13 when he tried BJJ for the first time and 3 months later he entered a tournament, winning 6 matches and a gold medal. From that moment forward, Jefferson was hooked on the sport.

Coach Beleza quickly realized Jefferson’s talent and urged the teenager to join the Barreto Brothers, Thiago & Bruno, who led one of the best competition teams in the region, a gym affiliated with Checkmat. Goteu joined the Barreto Brothers as a blue belt and remained with them through the black belt rank.

Thiago and Bruno Barreto were co-founders of the Commando Group, a professional jiu-jitsu team based in the United Arab Emirates built with the support of the UAE’s army commandos. Thanks to his connection with the Barretos, at the age of 15 Jefferson started spending time with the squad and representing the workgroup on the AJP circuit. In 2019 he was officially invited to the team and became part of the Abu Dhabi-based team, which helped him financially support his widow mother and 3 younger brothers.

After a successful run in the Abu Dhabi World Championship of 2023, in November, Jefferson Goteu was promoted to black belt by the Barreto Brothers.
