Biography

Jean Machado began BJJ in 2012 after a background in judo. His father, Robson Santos, became his coach. Correio Braziliense’s 2022 portrait described a purple belt seeking funding for preparation and travel while completing schoolwork and tests around flexible attendance. He assisted community BJJ classes and kept competition score. With pupils, he discussed family support and almost two years of losses before wins. The paper reported a June world-event title in Los Angeles; Pan-American and no-gi Worlds entries remained goals.
