Kauane Da Silva Biography

Kauane Da Silva was born in Curitiba, the capital of the southern Brazilian state of Paraná, on February 25, 2000.

As a child, Kauane practiced rhythmic gymnastics and some volleyball before finding jiu-jitsu at the age of 11, under the influence of her father. Da Silva’s dad grappled at a local gym and after following him to his training on a fair few occasions, Kauane was convinced to give it a try, an activity she immediately fell in love with, by her own admission in an interview given to BJJ Heroes on July 2023.

Coach César Bonassolli was Kauane’s first instructor back in Curitiba. Bonassolli ran an affiliate academy to team Checkmat, one of the strongest teams in the region thanks to the work of “Equipe 1” head instructors Letícia and Sebastián Lalli, and although Da Silva started with César, it didn’t take her long to find her love for competition and join the main squad under the guidance of the Lalli family.

Kauane went from the white belt rank to her brown belt representing Checkmat Curitiba. In 2022, however, Da Silva met Roberto Cyborg and his team (Fight Sports) at the ADCC Trials in her hometown. The group created a friendship instantly and, with that in mind, a few months later she decided to do her IBJJF World Championship camp in Miami, USA, with team Fight Sports. The experience only strengthened her bond with the Fight Sports squad and led her to stay with the team and remain in America.

After, roughly, a year of competing for Fight Sports, on June 3rd, 2023, Kauane Da Silva was promoted to black belt, while standing on the top of the podium steps of the World Championship.
