Professor

Mayra Mazza

Born and raised in the heart of São Paulo, Mayra Mazza was shaped by the rhythm of the city and the discipline of martial arts from a young age. Inspired by her grandfather, a pioneer who trained jiu-jitsu in Rio’s legendary Gracie school during the ’40s and ’50s, Mayra’s journey began on living room mats and quickly evolved into a lifelong dedication to the art of jiu-jitsu.
 
Guided by Master Fábio Gurgel, founder of Alliance Jiu Jitsu, Mayra earned her purple, brown, and black belts at the team’s global headquarters, training alongside icons of the sport. For over a decade, she became not just a student but a pillar in one of the most dominant teams in jiu-jitsu history.
 
Mayra made history as the first female purple belt to compete in the ADCC main event, the most prestigious stage in grappling.
Major Titles & Achievements:
  • 2x IBJJF World Champion
  • IBJJF World Championship Silver Medalist
  • IBJJF World Championship Bronze Medalist
  • Champion at the Brazilian Nationals
  • Champion at the American Nationals
  • Champion at the European Championships
  • Champion at the Pan American
  • Abu Dhabi Pro Champion
  • Winner of the ADCC Multiple-time champion at IBJJF Opens worldwide
Today, as a second-degree black belt and globally respected professor, Mayra has more than 12 years of teaching experience and remains deeply committed to the Alliance legacy — sharing elite technique, discipline, and passion with every student who steps onto her mats.
