Diana Teixeira Biography

Diana Teixeira was born on June 2001, in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.

When she was 11, a jiu-jitsu club opened near her family’s home. Her brother was the first in the family to attend a class and convinced Diana to try it as well. Although enthusiastic about the sport, Diana and her brother, Everton Teixeira, had to overcome some hurdles to attend regular classes. Thanks to their grandmother’s efforts early on, the two could join the academy.

After only one month of training, the gym’s coach, Alexandro Almeida, signed up Diana and her brother for a tournament. It was there that they began their love for the competitive side of jiu-jitsu.

Although she always kept a good connection with their original instructor, Almeida, Diana soon realized that she wanted to make a career out of this sport and started looking for other, more competitive training environments. This search led her to another Manaus instructor, Carlos Holanda, who became integral to her development. Through Holanda, Teixeira and her brother traveled to Rio de Janeiro where they trained at the Cantagalo Project with Douglas Rufinio (Trator) while working part-time jobs in the big city to pay rent.

Despite working in different gyms, her Manaus instructors remained at the helm of her training and it was Carlos Holanda who promoted Diana to the rank of black belt in May 2022.

While in Rio de Janeiro, Diana Teixeira received an offer to compete at a team tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The team needed an athlete under 52 kilograms, and Teixeira fit the bill. After the event, in which Diana made a very positive impression, the Manaus native was offered a permanent place with a different team at the local circuit, which she accepted. As such, in September 2022, Diana moved to the UAE and started training with coach Pablo Mantovani.
