Julia Alves Biography
Julia Alves was born on January 24, 2001, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she spent the majority of her formative years.
Despite not being embedded into sporting culture during her childhood, 13-year-old Alves felt immediately drawn to jiu-jitsu as soon as she walked past an academy’s window, behind which a class was being taught. Shortly after seeing that class, Julia decided to try and the rest is history.
Mike Sousa was Julia’s first instructor who, shortly after Alves started her BJJ tuition, joined GF Team as an affiliate gym. As Alves became more serious about her professional grappling career, as a blue belt, she opted to take full advantage of the Sousa x GFT coalition by becoming a member of the team’s headquarters workgroup in Meyer, RJ. There she was able to train with some of the best athletes in the country and develop into one of them.
While at Meyer, Julia Alves became widely recognized as one of the rising stars of the lightweight division, earning her purple, brown and black belts from coach Julio César Pereira – GFTs head coach – the latter of the ranks earned while on the podium of the 2022 IBJJF World Championships, in June that year.
Traditionally BJJ Heroes only records black belt match results, in Julia’s case, however, she was competing against top-tier black belt competition at the AJP circuit, in the mixed division, with some memorable matches there. Alves was also very successful while competing in the ADCC Brazilian Trials, all results we felt should be included in her professional record.
