Timeline
Ricardo “Animal” Migliarese (aka Rick Migliarese, born December 17, 1978) is an American professional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu grappler and a 5th degree Relson Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt with approximately 20 years of experience in BJJ and Mixed Martial Arts.
A World and Pan-Am Champion, Rick is a trainer, training partner and coach to UFC and MMA fighters as well as other World and Pan-Am Champions.
He lives in Philadelphia, PA where he teaches at Balance Studios which he co-owns with his brother, Phil Migliarese.
Rick is also one of the co-founders/co-owners of Matrix Fights Promotion Company.
Ricardo began his athletic training with boxing lessons at age 12.
His older brother Phil was already studying BJJ at Maxercise and Rick occasionally attended classes at Maxercise with him.
It wasn't until age 16 that he began his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes regularly, attending class several times a week and cleaning the school to pay for his tuition.
Soon, Rick began to compete in in-house tournaments with favorable results.
Rick and Phil decided to study the martial art at the Gracie Academy in California and spent much of that time dedicating themselves to their teacher training.
Learning directly from Grand Master Helio Gracie as well as other prominent members of the Gracie family, Rick began to take his own practice to the next level.
In 1999, Rick traveled out of the country for the first time - to Brazil for the Mundials.
He won the silver medal in the Blue Belt division to start what would be a successful and impressive professional career.
