This interview was originally published in Black Belt Magazine (August 2004). BBM-Could you tell our readers about your titles? You’re only 25 years old and you’ve already achieved a lot. SR-I’ve won the Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) World Championships four times: first as a purple belt in 1996, and then as a black belt in 1999, 2000 and 2001. I’ve won three Arnold Classics in the USA: in 2001, 2002 and 2003. I have 9 no holds barred (NHB) fights and am ranked the #1 fighter in the world under 155 lbs. I’ve also competed in ADCC two times (2001, 2003) BBM-So what are your plans for the next 25 years? SR-Now I want to win the UFC belt too. I want to be the undisputed number one fighter in my weight category. So that people have no doubt that I’m the best! BBM-How long have you been training? SR-I started BJJ when I was 14 years old, because I lost a fight to some guy in the street. This guy trained in Luta Livre (a Brazilian style that combines striking and grappling). I was only doing Muay Thai at the time, and because he knew grappling he killed me. One month later a friend invited me to his school and I started BJJ. I start BJJ, but I never thought about being the big grand champion – never! But after I’d trained for 2 months I entered a tournament and won my first two fights. I lost the finals to a yellow belt, but I liked the experience. I liked the adrenaline – it was nice! I continued training hard: two times, or sometimes three times a day. 10 years ago I didn’t have any obligations or bills. I was just a student in the morning, and had the whole afternoon and evening for training. So for me it was a very good situation – I always gave 100% on the mat. I never gave up: all the time I was training, training, training. FULL INTERVIEW http://www.grapplearts.com/Vitor-Shaolin-Ribeiro-Interview.htm
