Javier Barter Biography
Javier Barter was born on January 6, 1999, in Panama City, Panama, where he grew up.
As a young person, Barter was encouraged to be competitive by his older brother, playing several sports despite not taking any of those too seriously. During his mid-teens, Javier started practicing jiu-jitsu with a few friends as an after-school activity. Quickly, the sport of grappling became too important to work solely as a playful project and he decided to join a BJJ academy.
As soon as he started training jiu-jitsu, Javier also included mixed martial arts (MMA) into his schedule—18 months into his training, Javier decided to train on an open mat from a different team. The experience would lead him to believe his gym’s quality of training was far inferior, to the extent that he felt defrauded. The feeling led to the decision to change academy, opting for Kevin Blackman’s team.
Barter remained under Blackman’s guidance, later traveling to Costa Rica where he trained with Fernando Moya and earned his black belt in May of 2022.
