Thaynara Victória Biography
Thaynara Victória was born on May 25, 2003, in Campo Grande, in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul, where she grew up.
Growing up, Thaynara was not an active child or interested in sports. Her inclination to a sedentary lifestyle led Victoria’s mother to enroll her at the local martial arts academy when she was 12, looking to steer her daughter toward a healthier way of life. It was at this gym that the young Campo Grande native started jiu-jitsu.
Bruno Damieri was Thaynara’s first BJJ instructor and a coach with a strong connection to the sporting aspect of jiu-jitsu. Influenced by Damieri and her training partners, Victoria started competing early, and by the time she was a yellow belt, she believed she wanted to pursue the mats professionally.
As a blue belt, Thaynara’s skills caught the interest of São Paulo-based professional jiu-jitsu team, Dream Art. While with DA, Victoria became one of the top performers in her division in the world. She was promoted to purple belt by Gabriel Figueiró and, later, to brown belt by Anna Rodrigues.
In 2022, Thaynara Victória started training more often with the Dream Art affiliate gym in Houston, Texas, USA. Her third successive IBJJF World title in 2024 eventually led to her black belt promotion on May 31 from the hands of Marco Mendes.
