Yuri da Silva Campos Biography

Yuri da Silva Campos was born in September 2004, in Guaruja, a coastal town in the Brazilian state of São Paulo.

Through his uncle’s influence, who was a jiu-jitsu practitioner, Yuri Silva joined a BJJ academy at the age of 7. The gym program was led by Coach Rodrigo Menezes, also known as Digão, who took the tuition of Silva from the white belt rank to black belt.

Grappling quickly became a big part of Yuri’s life, particularly the competitive side of the martial art. His drive for success was initially stifled by his family’s less favorable economic situation, which could not sustain the cost of the many tournament fees that came with being an athlete. To circumvent the issue, Yuri sold water bottles at the beach to pay for his career.

As Yuri started making a name for himself on the juvenile division, conquering consecutive national titles, da Silva was approached by a Qatar-based professional team, Vision, who offered to pay for his tournament & travel fees in exchange for representation. This coincided with a leap towards the international circuit by the young Guaruja athlete, which included an IBJJF World title (2023) at the purple belt level.

After many important medals in the sport’s top tournaments, on June 1, 2024, Yuri da Silva was promoted to black belt by his instructor, Rodrigo Menezes.
