Guilherme Fernandes Biography

Guilherme Fernandes was born on March 22, 2002, in São Paulo – the capital city of the Brazilian state of São Paulo.

Fernandes was a sporty child but practiced mostly football (soccer) and other street sports. It was only as a teenager that Guilherme started competing, a habit he picked up through martial arts.

His love for combat sports came from his dad’s influence as he (Mario) was an avid jiu-jitsu practitioner who later became a black belt under Cicero Costha. Despite his father’s dedication to grappling, Guilherme started his martial arts journey through kickboxing at 13, which he practiced for a year before opting to shift his focus to BJJ in 2016.

Guilherme’s first steps in jiu-jitsu were taken at the Desporto Para Todos team, a local squad led by Ednaldo Pereira. Fernandes trained there for a while but, as he became more serious about the sport, he decided to join Cicero Costha, one the top producers of grappling talent in the world whose camp is in São Paulo.

Under the guidance of Costha, Gui was promoted to his blue and purple belt ranks. He would later leave the team and earn his brown belt from his former teammate & training partner, Diego “Pato” Oliveira, before joining team Dream Art.

At Dream Art, Guilherme Fernandes had one of his best years as a colored belt, earning the 3 major titles in the IBJJF in 2023, as a brown belt. His good form led coach Isaque Bahiense to promote the young Paulista to the rank of black belt on June 2, 2023.
