Biography
Paulo Roberto dos Santos Peixoto is a 4th-degree black belt in the Roger Gracie / Gracie Humaitá lineage, and the man who put the Roger Gracie patch on Norwegian gis day to day. As head coach at Roger Gracie Academy Oslo, based at Vallhall Arena, he runs the academy's standing programme and has held seminars across Norway under the same banner.
The Roger Gracie Academy carries a particular sensibility — disciplined, fundamentals-first, deliberate — and Peixoto's curriculum reflects that. For Norwegian practitioners who want a direct path to one of the most influential black-belt lines of the modern era, his room is the place to find it without leaving the country.
In a Norwegian BJJ map dominated by Frontline, GFTeam and a few independents, Peixoto holds the Roger Gracie flag almost single-handedly.
