## Bio

Son of Pernambuco pioneer Zé Radiola, Guilherme Rocha was rolling before he could walk, raised inside the family academy. Early judo success nearly pulled him away from BJJ until a 2007 Brazilian Nationals win at his father’s urging flipped the switch. He became a feared colored-belt competitor, known for relentless pressure and a deep judo-based grip game, before receiving his black belt from Radiola in February 2019.
