Professor Luiz Vicente Junior

---

Born in Sao Paulo Brazil Professor Luiz Vicente Júnior began his career in martial arts not with Jiu-Jitsu, but in Judo. When Vicente was only fourteen years old he began his training with Judo and committed six years to that particular discipline, earning himself the rank of Brown Belt. It was not until later that Vicente was introduced to the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Vicente has fully dedicated himself to this sport, training as often two or three times a day. His years of hard work and dedication to the sport have earned him the rank of 5th Degree Black Belt under Ricardo De La Riva. 

As a co-founder of the BJJ Conquest grappling academy, Vicente Júnior is also one of the most active competitors in the Master’s division, having conquered IBJJF Pan American titles in both Gi and No-Gi as well as a world No-Gi title.
