About the Founder / Our Story

Growing up in Brazil, Diego was always active exploring sports and martial arts including—Judo, Kung Fu and Capoeira, but lacked discipline and purpose. At 19, working in a meat factory, a friend introduced Diego to MMA and asked him a simple question: “Bro, why don’t you do it?”

SOMETIMES, ONE QUESTION CHANGES EVERYTHING.

DIEGO PEREIRA
BJJ BLACK BELT
FORMER PROFESSIONAL MMA FIGHTER
15+ YEARS IN MARTIAL ARTS
#1 RANKED IN AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND — FEATHERWEIGHT DIVISION/TAPOLOGY, 2024

''The greatest thing martial arts gave me wasn't a record or a ranking. It was personal growth—discipline, resilience, confidence, humility and the belief that you can always become better”

FROM A PERSONAL GROWTH TO A SHARED MISSION.

That belief became the foundation of EGB- Everyday Getting Better

EGB is more than a place to train. It’s a community built on the idea that every day is an opportunity to learn, grow and become a better version of yourself.

Student Reviews

    “Diego pereira has done an amazing job coaching our 2 kids, Itamar and Amalia in BJJ for over 15 months now. His ability to control the pace of his lessons with patience and professionalism is unparalleled he really really loves what he does. We tried asking our kids what they thought about Diego and they both said “Diego is the best."

  • — BJJ Student, Sonya Xu

    “I had amazing PT sessions with Diego. He is very knowledgeable, patient and calm. He was trouble shooting a lot of the issues in my JiuJitsu. It has made a huge difference in my ground game and my rolls are so much better.”

  • — Muay Thai Student, Milly Bruno

    “When I first started muay thai I decided to do pts once a week with Diego to fast track my learning and development. Diego is patient yet firm and pushed me to perform to my fullest potential. Diego clearly explained and demonstrated techniques whilst giving examples of how they can be applied. His attention to detail is outstanding and because of this I progressed massively. Aside from being an amazing coach he is an incredible and inspirational human and I couldn’t recommend Diego enough!”

    “Diego is an outstanding teacher with a lot of patience and a natural gift for explaining technical details very simply. His lessons are a lot of fun, and they were perfectly tailored to my strengths and weaknesses. He knew exactly how hard to push me to ensure I achieved my maximum potential. His lessons are perfect for all experience levels, and something I always look forward to in the week. He is by far the best coach I’ve ever trained with. Couldn’t recommend more!”
