Daniel Priebe

Daniel Priebe is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt (3rd degree) under Professor Carlos Eduardo de Araujo Farias, 4th degree black belt. He began grappling as a freshman in high school wrestling under coaches Ernie Molina and Sammy Chagolla, both 4x state wrestling champions and 4x All Americans.

Daniel was part of a 4x State Championship team, served as captain his senior year, finished high school with a 134–9 record, earned three straight Regional Championships, and placed third in the 5A State Championship. He wrestled for Arizona State University from 2000–2001 under 2x Olympic Gold Medalist Leroy Smith, then served as an assistant coach for North West Christian High School in Phoenix from 2003–2007.

He found Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2008, quickly excelled through the ranks, and has since built a competition record across international, national, and regional events. Daniel’s passion is sharing what he has learned while continuing to grow as a practitioner and coach.
