2. Roberto Abreu’s Biography
Roberto de Abreu Filho a.k.a Cyborg born on December 20, 1980, in Campo Grande, Brazil, is a seven-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi champion. He has won plenty of gold medals in both national and international tournaments. He fights in the ultra-heavyweight divisions for no-gi grappling and BJJ but is most famous for inventing the tornado guard.

3. Roberto Abreu’s Early life and Amateur Fighting
3.1. How did he start?
When Roberto was little, he came to the countryside in Campo Grande, Brazil. He was not aware of jiu-jitsu, so he started training in judo, capoeira , and karate. One day, Roberto’s friend challenged him to a fight. Roberto was amused by the challenge as his friend was very skinny and small. But Roberto’s friend defeated him three times by only using Árte Suave. At that point, Roberto knew what martial arts he wanted to pursue, so he joined the Claudionor Cardoso Gym and began training in jiu-jitsu. Within two weeks of training, Roberto won his first tournament.
Roberto always had a dominating personality which helped him get through tough competitions right from the beginning.
3.2. Roberto Abreu’s Historic Fights
Roberto then moved to Idaho, U.S., and trained under a Black belt named James who was from Marcello Alonso. He gave Roberto his blue belt.
After returning to Brazil, Roberto started training with Luis Claudio Isaias. He trained with him for almost six months and won the state championship in the open class weight division. He continued to win 10 times in a row.
Roberto Abreu’s Accident
In 2000, Roberto moved to Iowa, USA, where he got into a car accident that shattered his left arm. He kept struggling with recovering from his injury, trying to overcome it as soon as possible. He won the Brazilian Nationals a few months later. His drive to never give up earned him the nickname of “Cyborg” by the black belt, Carlson Gracie.
Professional Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Career
Roberto was determined to compete professionally. He often used to travel to Rio de Janeiro and fight in the world tournament. During his visits to Rio, Abreu became close to and created a strong bond with Nova Geracao of Francisco Albuquerque.
3.3. Roberto’s Gym “Fight Sports,” Miami
Roberto, as a purple belt, opened his own gym, Fight Sports, in Miami. The gym’s reputation rose quickly as a place one can ardently learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Roberto was successful in training a strong team with hundreds of world-class fighters. His students won both national and international tournaments, Pan American competitions, Brazilian Nationals, Mundial World Championship, and other high-ranking tournaments.
Roberto remained a purple belt for a year before being promoted to brown belt by winning various tournaments. He remained a brown belt for nine months.
Roberto Abreu as a Black Belt
In December 2004, after five years of training, Roberto earned his first black belt which was given to him by Master Francisco “Toco” Albuquerque.
Roberto and Pedro Gama Filho
In 2005, when Roberto was in Brazil, he met with one of his friends and the president of the Brazilian National Wrestling team, Pedro Gama Filho. Roberto requested Pedro to sign him up for wrestling at the Brazilian Nationals. He had to weigh under 100KG to get into the competition. Luckily, the next day, Roberto went to the Brazilian Nationals, weighed, and got into the competition where he won several matches.
In 2007, Roberto signed a contract with the Brazilian National team and defended Brazil in the Pan-Ams.
In 2010, Roberto joined a few world-class competitors and friends, such as Marcus Buchecha and Rodrigo Cavaca, who were training at The Armory in Florida to form a team called “The Avengers.” The team fought in a few local and international competitions.
Rodrigo eventually had to return to Santos, Brazil along with Marcus which resulted at the end of their partnership.
Tornado Guard by Roberto Abreu
Roberto is famous for his creation of the tornado guard, a high-level method to defeat the opponent. Roberto has been perfecting this position since he was a blue belt. The tornado guard is an inverted half-guard, where one presses the advantage on the opponent by putting pressure on the competitor’s extended leg and sweeping them vertically from above. There are several transitions from the sweep to a triangle to the omoplata.
Multiple World Championship Winner
Reborto has been in a number of professional fights. He is a 5x Ultra Heavyweight World Champion and won the ADCC 2013 Absolute, multiple ADCC competitions, and IBJJF World Championships.

3.5. Roberto Abreu “Fight Sports” Allegations
In March 2018, Marcel Goncalves, a 31-year-old MMA, and BJJ trainer, was arrested in Naples, Florida. He was charged for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl at the gym Roberto Abreu owned, Fight Sports.
Roberto was a lifelong friend of the man who was accused. He was highly criticized by the BJJcommunity for staying quiet and not taking a stand against the culprit.
In August 2021, he made an official statement on his Instagram saying “I’ve been attacked for my personal character for a crime I did not commit. All teams have bad apples. It is sometimes hard to get rid of those bad apples. I unequivocally acknowledge that I was ill-prepared to handle this situation and my response was confusing and not drastic enough. As for Marcel Goncalves, I'm stripping him off his black belt and have severed all ties between him and our organization.”
Roberto has now taken an oath to grow more positively, learn, and evolve as a person to ensure such issues will not arise ever again.
