Larissa Campos Biography

Larissa Campos was born on October 24, 1994, in Araraquara, a city located in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, where she grew up.

Larissa met and befriended Thiago de Guimarães in May 2013. Thiago was a jiu-jitsu black belt who had, back in 2000, introduced jiu-jitsu to the famous Réunion Island, a French department in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Africa.

Campos and Guimarães got along very well from the get-go, and by August of that same year, Larissa decided to move to “Réunion” and live with her partner and soon-to-be husband. After 1 month on the island, Larissa began learning jiu-jitsu herself. Although Campos didn’t have experience with other sports, she quickly fell in love with BJJ and began practicing diligently.

Larissa’s hard work on the mats brought her great competitive success and the trust of her coach and partner, who would later give Campos the chance to run her class, coaching women and children. A schedule she started as a blue belt.

In December 2018, after a stellar career in the colored belt divisions of BJJ where Lari earned numerous international titles, Campos earned her black belt from Thiago de Guimarães—a path from white to black belt that took a mere 5 years and 3 months.

In 2024, Larissa Campos switched camps and stopped representing the Gracie Humaita squad, moving to California, where she started representing AOJ.
