## Bio

Raised in the impoverished Cohab district of east São Paulo, Dimitrius Souza found jiu-jitsu through a friend and immediately signed up at the Nascidos para Vencer social project, where his first coach was Antônio Carlos Bergamo (“Toni”) and classes were also led by Everdan Olegario and Sergio Moraes. A blue belt regular at Fabio Gurgel’s academy, he later trained under Luciano Nucci (“Casquinha”) as a brown belt. After a dominant 2011 campaign capped by a world title at brown belt, Souza received his black belt from Sergio Moraes in July of that year.
