Gabriel Lucas Biography

Gabriel Lucas was born on the 3rd of August,1990. He was born in the state capital of Espirito Santo, Vitória. Growing up Gabriel was always interested in combat sports, starting his martial arts journey when he was 8 years old through Karate.

Gabriel showed interest in jiu jitsu from a very young age, although the lack of training facilities near his location prevented him from starting. That changed with Lucas was around 15 years of age, a time when a brand new gym opened near him which offered jiu jitsu classes.

Fedor’s first coach graded him up until purple belt, a time in which Lucas decided to move to a bigger team, choosing the academy of a legendary 1990’s competitor Eduardo Jamelão. Jamelão awarded Gabriel Lucas his brown and the coveted black belt, which he received on the 1st of August, 2013 – two days before his birthday, after a brown belt campaign where Gabriel won the world jiu jitsu championship, and the Brazilian national title.
