Julia Maele Biography

Julia Maele was born on November 11, 1992, on a Norwegian strawberry farm on the county’s West Coast, more precisely, in a town called Sola.

Living in a rural Scandinavian area, Julia was introduced to physical activity early in her life, and horse riding was her sport of choice. Maele got her first pony when she was 10 and spent most of her spare time in the stables, competing in Showjumping at a national level until she was 17.

When she was 19, Julia’s horse suffered an injury and could no longer participate in the sport. Finding herself without a sporting activity, Maele turned to jiu-jitsu after trying a class on a friend’s advice, and she enjoyed it from the get-go. Within a year of training and competing in BJJ, Julia decided to retire from horse-riding competitively to focus on grappling.

Under the guidance of coach Felipe “Gargamel” Mota, Julia Maele went from white belt to black belt, establishing herself as one of the top female athletes in Europe. Her good form earned her black belt from Mota in October 2018.
