Murilo Bustamante
Murilo Bustamante (Rio de Janeiro, 1966) is one of the most decorated competitors and masters of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He is one of the founders of Brazilian Top Team and remains its current leader.
Bustamante has won many titles in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Submission Grappling. These titles include Gold medals at the most prestigious competitions, including the Mundials BJJ World Championships in addition to four Brazilian National Championships.
Murilo Bustamante's accomplishments include:
Together with Fabio Gurgel and Wallid Ismail, Bustamante was one of three BJJ stylists to successfully defend their art in the legendary bare knuckle challenge fight, Desafio Jiu-Jitsu vs. Luta Livre (1991). Bustamante fought luta livre champion Marcelo Mendes, winning by technical knock out after his opponent fell out of the ring and was unable to continue.
Bustamante would later go on to fight at the Pride Fighting Championships in Japan and in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in the United States.

Training Camp Overview
Our training camps are open to individuals of all teams & affiliations. Our past training camps have been attended by grapplers from Gracie Barra, Gracie Jiu Jitsu, 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu, Brazilian Top Team, and the Hayastan Grappling Team.
We are honored to have Murilo Bustamante lead our next training camp. This intensive No-Gi Submission Grappling Camp includes 4-hours total instruction, plus time for free sparring.
Murilo will lead the Saturday training session from 12:00 - 4:00pm. On Sunday we will hold a open-mat sparring session from 12:00-1:30pm, so all participants will have the opportunity to cross train with grapplers from different schools. Weather permitting, the training will be followed by a Brazilian-style barbecue and bonfire gathering at the forested coastal headlands located just minutes from our training facility.
