Gabriel co-founded Marangoni BJJ in 2008 and earned his Black Belt at just 19 years old — in 4 years and 8 months. He has competed and taught seminars in over 30 countries and serves as an IBJJF referee at events worldwide including Worlds, Pan Ams, and Europeans.
His depth of knowledge, international competition experience, and genuine love of teaching make every class at Marangoni BJJ an opportunity to learn something you won’t find anywhere else in Utah.
