Описание: How long does it take to reach the pinnacle of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? 🥋🇧🇷

In a historic moment for the "Gentle Art," legendary world champion Renato Barreto has been awarded his BJJ Coral Belt by the iconic Relson Gracie. To reach this rank, a practitioner must hold a black belt for a staggering 31 years—a feat of dedication, discipline, and absolute mastery that few in history have ever achieved.

In today's video, we take a look at the incredible footage of the promotion and revisit the career of a man who was there at the very beginning. From receiving his brown belt directly from Helio Gracie to winning the first-ever IBJJF World Championship in 1996, Renato Barreto is a true pioneer.
