Randall Ebarb was born November 27, 1974. He grew up
and graduated high school in Jasper, Tx. After graduating high school
he began a career at the Sonic Drive-In in Woodville, Tx. He was
introduced to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) by his plumber
Brandon Cameron. Ebarb took immediate interest in Royce Gracie and set
out to learn the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu art under the instruction of Gary
Cameron in August 1996. He convinced his younger brother, Jason Ebarb
to join him in attending the classes. The Cameron brothers introduced
them to Pat “Hawk” Hardy who ran the Silsbee Gracie Training
Association which would become the Texas Punishment Crew (TPC).
It was very clear Ebarb had a talent for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). In
his first tournament he tapped out two Carlos Machado blue belts after
only training 7 months and took 2nd place. Ebarb was part of the very
first TPC national competition team along with Pat Hardy, Kasey
Jackson, Shae Sattler, and Patrick Head. They all competed and brought
back home gold medals. Along with this accomplishment they became the
first blue belt students at the young BJJ academy from the little town
of Silsbee, Tx.
Ebarb kept his competitive edge competing in every competition
possible winning across the state, country, and in Brazil. Ebarb won
the Gracie Nationals in his division and in the open weight division
as a blue belt. The very next year he would receive his purple
division only moments before the National tournament started in the
parking lot of the venue. Ebarb took the rubber bands off the belt,
tied it around his waist and went on to win his division without one
point being scored against him! In November 2001, Ebarb made his mixed
martial arts (mma) debut and holds an undefeated 3-0 record.
Randall and his younger brother Jason Ebarb both were awarded their
black belts from the legendary UFC fighter Royce Gracie in November
2006. Randall teaches, trains, and competes out of TPC HQ in Beaumont,
TX.
