About Renato

Black Belt 5th Degree | World-Class Competitor | Global Educator

My Story

Renato Migliaccio’s path is defined by four decades on the mats—bridging traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu roots with international competitive success, cross-disciplinary grappling mastery, and executive leadership in combat sports education.
His journey began at age 8 on the Judo mats, developing a lifelong foundation in grappling mechanics and discipline. Evolving into Jiu-Jitsu under the legendary Ryan Gracie lineage, Renato earned his 5th-Degree Black Belt and established himself as a world-class competitor.
Over nearly four decades of competition, he captured European and Pan-American BJJ titles, triumphed in the ADCC Brazilian Trials, and represented the Brazilian National Team in Greco-Roman Wrestling at the World Championships.
Expanding his skill set into Mixed Martial Arts, Renato achieved a 6-1 professional record with appearances in M-1 Global and King of the Cage, while earning a 4th-Degree Judo Black Belt and FIAS Master Certification in Sambo.
Parallel to his athletic career, Renato dedicated himself to academic excellence and sports administration. Holding degrees in Sports Science and Sports Management, alongside executive studies at USP, Harvard Online, and Real Madrid University, he transformed combat sports instruction into structured, high-level educational systems.
Today, as a lecturer in self-defense at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), founder of Sampa BJJ, and President of the International BJJ Association (IBJJA), Renato travels to over 15 countries. He continues to guide academy owners, accredit head coaches, and shape the next generation of martial arts leaders worldwide.
