Higor Lima Biography

Higor Lima was born on September 18, 1998, in Belém, capital of the state of Pará, which is located in Brazil’s lower Amazon region.

Growing up Higor was not particularly sporty, playing standard sports recreationally up until he found jiu-jitsu at the age of 9. A martial art he began with no previous knowledge or expectations of the combat style, starting merely because it was the only contact sport available in his area.

Coach Eduardo Kahwage was Higor’s first coach and the man who taught the young Pará native from white to black belt – a rank he earned in August 2020.

During his late teens, Higor started making waves in the local scene which led Lima to chose the path of training full-time. Totally focussed on his competitive career, Higor started competing at a national level as a brown belt, immediately earning high praise with gold medals at the Brazilian National Championships and South American Championships.
