Amanda Leve is a jiu-jitsu black belt under James Booth & Jay Regalbuto who worked extensively with Ricardo Almeida during her purple and brown belt career. Competing almost exclusively in the no-gi circuit, Leve is widely regarded as one of the top grapplers of her generation, a reputation she earned after her wins in the colored belt division of the World and Pan No-Gi Championships as well as her ADCC US Trials victory (2019). Leve has also competed in boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA).
