WHO IS  LUCAS LERPI?

Lucas Lepri is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished and decorated Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athletes in the world. As the head instructor at Lucas Lepri HQ in Charlotte, NC, he has an extraordinary competition record that includes 9 World Championship titles. His dominance in the sport began in 2007 when he claimed his first World Championship, followed by a legendary 2014 season where he won every major tournament he entered, earning a second World title with a performance many still describe as the most dominant in the history of the tournament.

In 2016, he followed this success with another flawless performance at the World Championships, cementing his reputation as one of the most prolific grapplers on the planet. His focus has since shifted to coaching, where he led his school to victory at the Charlotte Open Championship over 10 times. Lucas continues to produce World, Pan, and European medalists, with people traveling from all over to train under him.

A native of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil, Lucas came to the United States in 2009, where he first became an instructor at Alliance, New York City. After three years in New York, Lucas moved to Atlanta, GA, where he spent two years at the Alliance US headquarters alongside Master Romero "Jacaré" Cavalcanti. Despite his remarkable athletic achievements, Lucas’ success as an instructor is even more impressive. He’s not only shaped the careers of many top-level competitors but has also transformed the lives of countless students.

In 2022, Lucas Lepri was inducted into the Hall of Fame, solidifying his place as one of the greatest of all time in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
