Santiago Guerra Biography

Santiago Guerra was born on November 2001, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, growing up in the Saavedra neighborhood.

Labeled as a hyperactive child by his parents, Santiago was quickly inserted into the sporting world, first through football (soccer) and swimming at age 4, and two years later judo was added to his activities. Guerra gained an appetite for competition in judo, where he participated in several local tournaments and two Argentine Judo Nationals.

In October 2013, Santiago Guerra added boxing and jiu-jitsu to his activities. He saw BJJ as a similar sport to judo, but with more freedom on the ground portion of the action and he believed it was the perfect setting for him to test himself against a wider range of athletes and styles while learning more about grappling.

Boxing was another combat sport where Santiago excelled, doing several exhibition bouts and 9 fights with an amateur license. He won 2nd place at the Argentinian Boxing Nationals and third place at the Evitas Games, a well-respected event at the national level.

Santiago’s first BJJ instructor was Javier Cardozo, a black belt under Julio Cesar Pereira, the founder of GF Team. Cardoso was also a judo and wrestling expert whose game fit perfectly with Guerra. During Santiago’s progression, he was also taught by Bruno Alves Correa (another member of the GFT network, based in San Antonio, Texas, USA). Coach Correa promoted Santiago Guerra to black belt on June 12, 2024.
