Meet our Instructor Professor Guto Neto
World-Class Excellence Meets Passionate Teaching
Born in Juiz de Fora, near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Professor Guto Neto began his martial arts journey in 2000. In 2009, he had the opportunity to train under legendary instructors Murillo Bustamante, Diego Gamonal, and Huey Frad, which shaped the foundation of his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu career.
He earned his black belt in 2016 and is now a 3rd-degree black belt with over 30 years of combined martial arts experience. A multi-time IBJJF medalist, Professor Guto has competed at a high level while also dedicating himself to teaching and mentoring students.
After moving to Charlotte in 2017, Guto brought his passion for Jiu Jitsu to the local community.
