Blue and Purple Belt Dominance
Rerisson Gabriel's ascent through the colored belt divisions was defined by consistent, high-level results across the most prestigious IBJJF and CBJJ competitions in the sport. His first notable title came at blue belt, when he claimed gold at the CBJJ Brazilian Nationals in 2021, announcing himself as a serious Peso Pluma prospect.
The purple belt years proved to be a particularly dominant stretch. In 2022, Rerisson captured the IBJJF World Championship title, establishing himself among the best in his weight class at the global level. He added further podium finishes throughout that campaign — a runner-up result at the IBJJF European Championship and a third-place finish at the IBJJF Pan Championship — demonstrating his consistency across multiple major events. The following year, at the 2023 IBJJF European Championship, he claimed gold once more, capping a purple belt career that placed him among the most decorated competitors of his generation at that level.
Brown Belt Excellence and the Road to Black
Transitioning to brown belt, Rerisson maintained his elite standard without missing a beat. He earned back-to-back gold medals at the IBJJF European Championship — adding the 2024 edition to his 2023 title — and pushed to a runner-up finish at the IBJJF World Championship in 2024, a result that underscored his readiness to compete against the sport's best.
The move to black belt under Alliance brought immediate results. In 2025, competing for the first time as a black belt on the sport's biggest stage, Rerisson Gabriel claimed gold at the 2025 IBJJF Pan Championship in the Peso Pluma division (64 kg / 141.5 lbs). The victory confirmed his place among the elite of his weight class and made clear that his decorated run through the colored belts was not a ceiling, but the foundation of a career built to compete at the highest level.
