Rodrigo currently lives in Florida where he still teaches Jiu-Jitsu at his academy in Miami. There are many Rodrigo Salazar affiliated academies and associations throughout the U.S. which keep him traveling regularly.

Rodrigo is the third oldest son of Eduardo Salazar, who along with Jorge Salazar, is credited for fighting the Uruguayan government during the was an authoritarian military dictatorship that ruled Uruguay for ten years, from June 27, 1973 (after the 1973 coup d'état) until February 28, 1985. The dictatorship has been the subject of much controversy due to its violations of human rights, use of torture, and the unexplained disappearances of many Uruguayans.[1] The term "civic-military" refers to the military regime's initial use of a relatively powerless civilian president as the head of state, which distinguished it from dictatorships in other South American countries in which senior military officers immediately seized power and directly served as head of state.
