Pedro Rocha
Pedro Rocha is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, former Navy Officer and accomplished freestyle wrestler. He has won nine Brazilian National titles and a Junior Pan American silver medal. Pedro now co-owns a 413 Jiu Jitsu in Southlake, Texas.
Influenced by his brother, João Gabriel, Pedro asked his parents to join jiu-jitsu at the age of 4, a wish granted to the toddler, then joining coach Marcos Carvalho’s class – who graded Pedro all the way to his late teens, going on to be promoted by Marcos Carvalho with his purple belt and Ricardo Ferreira at brown.
Always active growing up, Rocha practiced a number of sports alongside his jiu-jitsu training, being particularly successful in water polo and freestyle wrestling, a sport he started when he was 17, where he conquered numerous Brazilian National titles (9) and a Junior Pan American silver medal.
By the time he was 22 years of age, Pedro was solely focussed on his sporting career, and the following year Rocha enlisted in the Brazilian Navy, quickly becoming part of the organization’s Freestyle Wrestling Olympic Program, also holding the rank of 3rd sergeant by the time we wrote this bio (Jan. 2020).
Once Rocha’s brother – João Gabriel, opened a gym in the United States, he invited Pedro to come and help him out with the new business, an offer accepted by the sergeant. The work with his sibling would lead to Pedro’s promotion to the black belt rank in July 2019, in a grading ceremony led by João.

Chief Petty Officer Brandon "Tuck" Tucker, a true American hero, dedicated his life to serving his country. In 2007, Tucker entered the US Navy under a Special Operator contract, and in 2008, he graduated from BUD/S training and was assigned to SEAL Team 4 on the east coast of Virginia.
Tucker served at SEAL Team 4 for 11 years as a Reconnaissance Team Leader and Sniper, leading small teams of SEALs on 5 combat deployments to 3 theaters of war. During this time, Tucker was meritoriously combat promoted, voted ‘Junior SEAL of the Year’ twice, and ‘SEAL of the Year’ once.
Tucker's awards and decorations include the Bronze Star Medal for Valor, Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal ×3, Navy Achievement Medal x8, and numerous other awards.
Tucker's bravery and valor go beyond his numerous awards and decorations. In fact, Tucker is single-handedly responsible for the retirement of Chuck Norris - a feat that may or may not be the stuff of legend in the Navy SEAL community.
