Mario "The Zen Machine" Sperry is considered to be one of the
greatest Brazilian fighters of all time. An accomplished master of Brazilian
Jiu Jitsu, he first broke on the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu scene back in the
early eighties. He dominated every belt division as he rose through the
ranks to Black Belt. A prodigy of the legendary Carlson Gracie, Mario
was handed his Black Belt at the 1995 World Championships of Brazilian
Jiu Jitsu where he entered and won the heavyweight Black Belt division
defeating many of the sports greatest legends. Copying a Tiger Woods story,
Mario won again in 1996, 1997, 1998 becoming one of the most successful
fighters in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu history to date. In late 1998, Mario Sperry
became the first fighter in history to make a Gracie submit in a mach
when he defeated legendary World Champion, Royler Gracie in Brazil. He
is also well known for becoming the first World Submission Grappling Champion
(Abu Dhabi), a title he held for three consecutive years. As a Vale-Tudo
fighter and coach, Mario Sperry's accomplishments are known around the
globe. His team, The Brazilian Top Team is currently the most successful
No Holds Barred fighting team in the world. Mario Sperry’s instructional
videos are considered to be the very best ever produced for learning Brazilian
Jiu Jitsu. They have received world-wide acclaim by virtually every martial
art magazine and video review site.
