Nivaldo Oliveira Biography

Nivaldo Oliveira was born on the 10th of May, 1983 in Guaruja (on the coast of São Paulo State, Brazil). Nivaldo’s first contact with martial arts came at the age of 16 through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Nivaldo’s brother already trained BJJ but “Nil” was only convinced by the benefits of grappling after watching some footage of Royce Gracie in action, those early UFC’s changed Oliveira’s perception of the sport and made him want to follow his brother’s footsteps.

Sergio Souza from the Integração academy was Nivaldo’s first coach; it was Souza who took Nivaldo through the ranks until his purple belt (when Oliveira earned his first major trophy at the Brazilian Nationals). After his win at the “Brasileiro”, Nivaldo moved to a bigger academy where he could reach his full potential in the sport, and started being coached by Leonardo Vieira. “Leozinho” awarded Nivaldo Oliveira both his brown and his black belt (in 2007).

Nivaldo de Oliveira was also a pioneer for BJJ in the country of Palau (Republic of Palau) where he was the very first black belt to coach there. The invitation happened by chance as Nivaldo was spending some time in Guam.

Nivaldo is a member of Checkmat – Santos, training alongside world champions such as Michelle Nicolini, Marcus Buchecha and Cavaca (the head instructor) Nivaldo won the open weigh division of CBJJE’s World Cup, one of the hardest competitions in Brazil (2011).

Nivaldo also coaches BJJ at his home town of Guaruja in the Vert Club, where he can dedicate his time to both BJJ and Surfing (another important sport in Nivaldo’s life).
