About

G13 San Diego BJJ

Welcome to G13 San Diego Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the first G13 BJJ USA affiliate in San Diego. We’re a growing team committed to excellence in both competition and personal development. Regardless of your level, beginner through advanced, our mission is simple: deliver world-class Jiu Jitsu instruction while building a strong, competitive, and supportive team for everyone.

Our Lineage & Leadership

G13 BJJ USA is part of a distinguished lineage founded by Roberto Godoi, a 12-time world champion in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Under his guidance, our style and standards are built on decades of tradition, technical mastery, and competitive resolve.

Leading G13 San Diego is Wilson Reis, our Head Instructor. Wilson is a 20-year Black Belt under Roberto Godoi, accomplished both in pure BJJ and in MMA. He is internationally recognized for his UFC career as a flyweight contender and remains active in IBJJF competition. As a brown belt, Wilson captured the IBJJF World Championship, a testament to his skill and dedication.  

Over the years, Professor Wilson has promoted and mentored multiple Black Belts, of whom remain with him to this day. Their loyalty and longevity are a testament to his leadership and the strong culture of growth he has built.

Our Team

What Makes Us Different

While Wilson’s reputation draws attention, our strength comes from the team itself. Many of our students began as white belts and have grown together, representing the core of what G13 San Diego stands for who carry the G13 name with honor. With a number of dedicated Black Belts training and teaching alongside our members, you’ll always find support, guidance, and inspiration on the mats across all levels.
