Vitória de Assis Biography

Vitória Damiana Silva de Assis was born on September 20, 2002, in Paquetá Island, just off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

As a child, Assis was always interested in sports, competing in football (soccer) and swimming before she found jiu-jitsu, at age 11. Under the guidance of coach Gildo Jorge, Vitória started competing from the start, with her first tournament participation taking place 3 months after she entered the mats.

Showing a natural ability for grappling, Vitória Assis quickly gained the reputation of being one of the sport’s top prospects, first, under the guidance of Mr. Gildo and later, after she received her yellow belt, with instructor Bruno “Formiga”.

After an exciting career in the colored belt divisions, which included medals in the World and Pan American Championships in the purple and brown belt ranks, Vitória Assis was promoted to the black belt rank by her instructor, Bruno Formiga, and the Double Five team leader, Rafael Formiga on June 2023.
