From Gaucho Roots to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt: My Journey

Updated: May 29

Hey there! I'm Jorge Piris, and I'm excited to share a slice of my story with you.


Originally from the vibrant plains of Argentina, I grew up immersed in the rich culture of my traditional Gaucho family. From a young age, I was captivated by martial arts, fueled by the thrilling images and stories in a forbidden martial arts book. The Bible also played a significant role in shaping my early interests and curiosities.


Fast forward a few years, and my childhood fascination with martial arts blossomed into a full-blown passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. As I delved deeper into the discipline, I discovered an undeniable connection between mind and body—a revelation that continues to drive me both on and off the mat.


Today, as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, I've made it my mission to share the transformative power of Jiu-Jitsu with others. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just starting your journey, I'm here to guide and support you every step of the way.


You can find me at HANKO, where I'm honored to serve as an instructor and mentor to students of all ages and skill levels. Together, we'll explore the incredible world of Jiu-Jitsu, uncover new techniques, overcome challenges, and forge lifelong friendships along the way.


So, whether you're looking to master a martial art, build confidence, or simply have a blast on the mat, I'm here to help you achieve your goals and unlock your full potential.
