Timeline
Antonio Ricardo Jardim Libório (born July 13, 1967) is a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt under Grand Master Carlson Gracie.
He is the co-founder of American Top Team (ATT) and Brazilian Top Team (BTT), the founder and CEO of Martial Arts Nation and the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Institute (IBJJI), and also a professor of BJJ at the University of Central Florida.
Antônio Ricardo Jardim Libório was born on July 13, 1967, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
His introduction to combat sports began at the age of 4, when he began studying judo.
He later took up a variety of traditional and modern martial arts, including taekwondo, Muay Thai and boxing.
At 14, he began training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the Carlson Gracie academy in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, which produced black belts such as Vitor Belfort, André Pederneiras, Walid Ismail, Mario Sperry and Ricardo de la Riva.
Libório received his black belt from Carlson Gracie in 1993 at the age of 26.
In 1996, Libório entered the first ever "Mundials," or World Jiu-Jitsu Championship, winning a gold medal in the super heavyweight (super-pesado) division over Leo Castello Branco, a much heavier opponent.
He was awarded the title of "Most Technical Black Belt" in that tournament.
The next year, Libório competed in the International Masters Mundials under his middle name, Antônio Jardim, taking gold in the meio-pesado (middle-heavy) division.
He gained renown as a jiu-jitsu player, leading Carlson to claim he could beat the legendary Rickson Gracie in a sport jiu-jitsu bout.
In 2001 Ricardo was approached by American businessman and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, Dan Lambert.
Dan recruited Ricardo, and together they formed a partnership, which would eventually become American Top Team.
Libório had his own MMA debut against Pancrase wrestler Ikuhisa Minowa for Japanese promotion Deep the same year.
In a bout with almost no strike thrown between the contendants, Libório opened the first round struggling to take Minowa down, but he gained half mount for a while and threatened him with an armbar, which Minowa returned with a standing kimura attempt.
Ricardo dominated an uneventful second round, resuming his domain the top position and almost locking a rear naked choke at its end, and he would go on to trade submissions with the Japanese wrestler at the third and last round, being still entangled in a leglock exchange when the bell rang.
As the match was stipulated to be without judges, it went to a draw.
He was nominated as "Coach of the Year" for the Fighters Only World Mixed Martial Awards in 2009.
According to Fight! "Power 20" in 2012, which profiles the twenty "most significant power players, movers, shakers, ambassadors, and game-changers in MMA," Libório was ranked #13.
On August 29, 2015, Libório fought former Carlson Gracie teammate, Mario Sperry, in the ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship "Superfight."
After 20 minutes and two overtime periods, the referees awarded the decision to Libório.
After Leaving ATT in 2015, Libório founded Martial Arts Nation in 2018.
The martial arts firm specializes in consulting, events, licensing, and branding for BJJ and other martial arts.

In March 2018, Librio, through the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Institute (IBJJI), sponsorship of Martial Arts Nation, and affiliation with the Institute of Sports and Social Justice at UCF, hosted the first Florida collegiate Jiu-Jitsu in-state competition Resenha or "hangout" event.
The event focused on getting people who usually are fans off the stands and participating in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Furthermore, essential topics of the event included learning more about the sport's mental and physical benefits, including helping with self-defense, anxiety, depression, focus, and self-confidence through a "Mat and Chat" system developed by Libório.

Márcio Pimentel was the lead coach of the program, and Professor Kyle Leisher is currently the head administrator of the club at Edgewater.
BJJ is the primary sport of this project; however, other martial arts are now being taught as well, such as Judo, grappling, and self-defense.
On August 26, 2019, he created the first BJJ college class to be offered by a university in the U.S. from a world champion and coach.
By 2020, the club had 250 members, was the largest sports club at UCF, and had the second-highest female participation rate out of all other sports clubs.
