## Bio

Gabriela Pereira swapped ballet for judo at age six after getting expelled from dance class, then moved into jiu-jitsu under Ricardo Oliveira in Campinas, working through all juvenile belts before joining César Tozi’s group. She was promoted to purple, brown, and black belt by Carlos Durlin, receiving her black belt on December 18, 2021. Shortly before that promotion, an invitation to train at the Abu Dhabi World Pro camp with the Vision Team led to her joining the Qatari squad, marking her shift onto the international scene.
