Jaine Fragoso Biography

Jaine da Silva Fragoso was born in February 1998, in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Growing up Jaine practiced and competed in a variety of scholastic sports, which she carried throughout the school system. She was also taught muay thay and basic mixed martial arts from age 10 by her older brother, a practitioner of these combat styles, for self-defense purposes.

6 months into her 17th birthday, Fragoso decided to join a jiu-jitsu club. Being a competitor from an early age, she dove into the local tournament scene after only 4 weeks, losing every match she had for 6 months. She eventually graduated to adulthood and won her first tournament in her very first competition as an adult.

Jaine started her path in BJJ under the guidance of Mateus Bernardi, the founder of the JA Jiu-Jitsu club in her hometown. Still, as she became more invested in her grappling career and opted to make it her profession, she passed through a few teams before finding the Atos team affiliate in Rio de Janeiro, under the guidance of former ADCC champion Davi Ramos. Ramos promoted Fragoso to the black belt rank on January 17, 2023. She would move to the United States in 2024 where she started training under the guidance of Caio Terra.
