William Tackett

William Tackett is a professional jiu-jitsu athlete who specializes in the no-gi style of grappling. A brown belt under Rodrigo Cabral (Brucutu) and a representative of the Brazilian Fight Factory in Austin, TX, Tackett first made waves in the sport while competing in the adult division as a minor, a time when he shocked many in this sport by beating and submitting several top tier black belts.

William would continue to prove his worth and his reputation as one of America’s most talented athletes with outstanding performances on the professional circuit, while still holding colored belt status. These performances led BJJ Heroes to acknowledge and highlight the talented (adopted) Texan in our profiles listins, Tackett being only the 3rd brown belt feature on our site in over a decade.
