Biography
Roberto Jimenez is an Ecuadorian-American Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and one of the most dynamic, aggressive, and submission-oriented competitors of his generation. Known for his nonstop pace, fearless scrambles, and ability to get to the back, Jimenez has built a reputation as one of the most exciting athletes in modern no-gi and gi competition.
Jimenez rose to prominence as a young prodigy, earning major wins at the colored belts before receiving his black belt in 2020. He quickly made an impact on the professional scene with victories over top-ranked opponents in events such as Who’s Number One, ADCC Trials, and the IBJJF circuit. His style is defined by relentless forward pressure, effective takedowns, aggressive back-taking sequences to get to his rear naked.
A representative of Studio 76, the team founded by his father, Raul Jimenez, Roberto continues to compete at the highest levels while serving as a model for modern hybrid jiu-jitsu—combining wrestling, dynamic guard play, and submission-heavy sequences into one of the most entertaining styles in grappling today.
