Maria Luisa Delahaye Biography

Maria Delahaye was born on December 18, 2000, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and moved to Saquarema, a beach town also located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, when she was 13.

Born into a family of athletes where her father had been a professional futsal (indoor soccer/football) player and her mother an avid athletics practitioner, it didn’t take long before Maria herself was embedded in sports culture. Delahaye’s first competitive sport was judo, which she started at 5 at the Gávea Escola Nova under coach Marco Aurelio.

Aurelio and coach Ney Wilson were part of Maria’s development as a judoka up until her early teens. She was forced to stop her judo practice when she moved to Saquarema as there were no judo schools in the more remote town.

Arriving in Saquarema at 13-14, Delahaye was convinced by her mother to try jiu-jitsu as it was the closest thing to judo in the area. Maria started at a neighboring gym but they were not competition-minded and she ended up switching to Saquafit as a yellow belt, a gym affiliated with one of the biggest BJJ squads in the country, GFTeam. There, Maria Luisa met instructors Richard “Tio Ricky” Neves and Renato Verás.

Maria Delahaye quickly became one of the most accomplished athletes on the Neves-Veras workgroup, remaining under the guidance of the coaching duo across all belts, even while studying Physical Education in college. As a brown belt, she began regular visits to GFT’s headquarters in Meyer, RJ, to train with the team’s professional squad. Her hard work led to her black belt promotion in July 2024.
