On the Mat
Professor Goodloe began training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at 39 and earned his black belt at 47 under Professor Rafael Oliveira who trained at the original Gracie Barra school in Rio de Janeiro from the age of 12. That lineage runs directly to this mat.
Over 75 competitions. IBJJF Pan American medals at every belt level from white through black. A father of six, an entrepreneur, a practicing Catholic, and a lifelong student of this art. Professor Goodloe built Gracie Barra Centennial to be exactly what he wished had existed when he was looking for something real.
He still trains every chance he gets. That’s intentional.
"Help a student fall in love with the art and they'll take themselves the rest of the way."
