Professor Octavio Couto, more affectionately known as “Ratinho”, is a 6th degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Romero Cavalcanti, and one of the most innovative and sought-after coaches in the world. Originally competing with Alliance, he was one of seven black belts to form Team Brasa in 2002. A true scholar of the world, Professor Ratinho speaks four languages, and has used his expertise in such projects as incorporating the principles of BJJ into the self-defense program for the Italian Carabinieri Police force. He co-founded and developed the curriculum and operations at AKXE BJJ, the largest academy of Rio de Janeiro, and now travels the world, spreading the gentle art through his seminars.
We talk about his unique philosophies and teaching methods with respect to BJJ, incorporating a deep understanding of body mechanics, movement and connection. We explore his concept of jiu-jitsu as a highly developed form of Dynamic Meditation and all the physical, mental and spiritual benefits that entails. Professor Ratinho also details some of the amazing experiences he has amassed along his journey in coaching both jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts, including stories about his time coaching Fabricio Werdum for some of the sports biggest and most consequential fights.
