About Us
Thamires Monteiro was born on January 08, 1998, in Vila Mariana, São Paulo, growing up in Mogi das Cruzes, also located in the Brazilian state of São Paulo.
Throughout her childhood, Thamires was not particularly sporty. She did, however, practice dancing and a bit of swimming during her early teenage years, prior to finding her calling in grappling.
Tami’s first steps in jiu-jitsu were made by the end of 2014, at the age of 16. Initially, Monteiro entered the mats solely in a show of support for a good friend who was interested in the Gentle Art but was too shy to try on her own. Although arriving with no long-term goals, Thamires immediately fell in love with jiu-jitsu and decided to join the club.
Monteiro’s time at her original gym was short-lived as she decided to pursue jiu-jitsu as a career during the early stages of her training. Competing nearly every weekend for the first few years, Thamires opted to join the New School Brotherhood team, Leandro Lo‘s (then) newly formed squad, in search of professional training, where Monteiro was promoted to purple belt.
