Professor Gui was born in Porto Alegre in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. He had his first contact with soft art in 1998. As he watched the fights of the legendary Royce Gracie in the UFC in the early 90s along with his father and brother, the multi-world champion Guto Campos.
Professor Gui started training since the first time he saw skinny Royce Gracie defeating much bigger athletes. Professor Gui’s father was unable to afford a gym for him to train and after a few years Professor Gui started working and was able to start training at a gym. He practiced for a few months and had to stop. When he returned, 2 years later, he never stopped. He started training as a student of his younger brother Guto Campos.
Always competing from the white to the black belt.
In 2002 he decided that he wanted Jiu – jitsu for his life.
In 2003 he started teaching with his brother at the gym that was inside his house.
In 2004 he became a partner with his brother Guto and founded Academia Guetho Jiu-Jitsu. One of the biggest and strongest teams in southern Brazil.
End of 2008 he won the black belt from the hands of his brother and master Guto Campos.
And at the end of 2009 he joined the Atos Jiu-Jitsu team (founded in early 2009 by André Galvao and Ramon Lemos) together with his brother and the entire Guetho Jiu-Jitsu team.
Until today Professor Gui is part of the Atos Team that he is very proud of.
At the end of 2016 he moved to the USA thinking of giving his daughters a better life opportunity with more security and less violence and being able to help spread the real Jiu-Jitsu to the Texas community.
In August 2018 he moved to Austin with the great help and confidence of investor and friend Aaron Hunt who opened a gym in Austin, Texas.
