A former state-champion arm-wrestler and lifelong weightlifter, Mayara Custodio started jiu-jitsu at 26, joining a Gracie Barra affiliate alongside her younger brother on his physiotherapist’s recommendation. She spent four years under Norival Diego Rossi, reaching purple belt before a relationship connected her to Checkmat Paraná and coach Sebastian Lalli.
