Jansen Gomes Biography
Jansen Gomes was born on October 20, 2001, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, growing up in the Comunidade do Cantagalo, a community neighboring Pavão, and Pavãozinho, a group of favelas in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that is well-known in the martial arts world for having produced many jiu-jitsu champions.
A sporty kid from the get-go, Jansen started training jiu-jitsu during his early childhood by the influence of his brother, Jonata Gomes, and his father, BJJ black belt Antônio Carlos “Bode”.
A precocious athlete, Gomes started breaking through as one of the top child athletes in Brazil as a yellow belt, in the Mirim age group, the time when he conquered his first National title. Under the guidance of his father and coach Ricardo “Rico” Vieira, Jansen quickly became one of the faces of coach Rico’s social project in Cantagalo, a program developed with local youngsters around the sport of jiu-jitsu. This while training also at the team’s headquarters, the Fightzone Academy in Copacabana.
As a purple belt, Jansen’s international career took off as the young athlete started visiting the United States for the main events on the IBJJF circuit. While in the US, Gomes had the opportunity to work with other prestigious coaches from the Checkmat network such as Leonardo Vieira and Lucas Leite.
After repeated success at the main tournaments of the IBJJF circuit as a colored belt, Jansen Gomes was promoted to black belt, a promotion that took place while Nenego stood on the #1 podium spot of the World Championships, in December 2021. The belt was tied around Jansen’s waist by his father, Antônio Carlos.
