Jean Jacques Machado (born February 12, 1968) is a Brazilian Jiu jitsu practitioner. He is one of the five Machado brothers (Carlos, Roger, Rigan and John). Machado is nephew of BJJ co-founder and Grandmaster Carlos Gracie, and learned the martial art from an early age.[1]

Machado is known for his grappling skills having won ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championships in his weight division plus a runner up in the open division in 2001.[2] As a result of his achievements in the sport, he was inducted to the ADCC Hall of Fame as part of the 2024 class.[3]

Biography

Machado was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and suffered birth defects resulting from amniotic band syndrome, which left him with only the thumb and the little finger on his left hand. Despite this congenital problem, which directly affects the skill of gripping, he began his Jiu-Jitsu training over thirty years ago and dominated the competitive arena of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in his native country, capturing every major title and competition award from 1982 through 1992.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

In 1992, Machado arrived in the United States where he continued competing successfully.

On June 6, 2011 in a private ceremony held at the Rickson Gracie Academy in West Los Angeles, Machado was promoted to a 7th degree red-and-black belt.[4] This prestigious promotion is in recognition of Machado's 25 years as a black belt instructor, competitor and champion.[5] He then received the 8th degree on his black belt from Rickson Gracie on March 29, 2025.[6]

Coaching career

Since retiring from competition, Machado has focused his time on coaching students instead. He famously taught both 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu founder Eddie Bravo[7] and podcaster Joe Rogan, along with a number of other celebrities and prominent martial arts figures like Freddie Prinze Jr.[8] and Dan Inosanto.[9]

Machado served as a coach alongside Roger Gracie, Rigan Machado, and Dean Lister on season 6 of the Professional Grappling Federation on April 21 to 26, 2024.[10] Machado led Team X-Martial at the tournament,[11] and they won the team title.[12]
