Biography

Andreas Leonardo Borch Høiaas is a black belt who teaches at Frontline Academy's Hasle location in Oslo. Over the years he has worked for the academy both at its reception desk and on the mat as an instructor. According to Frontline Academy, which is the source for most of what is known about him, he started Brazilian jiu-jitsu in 2012 and has competed since 2014, fitting tournaments around work and studies. The academy says he was awarded his black belt in 2024 for the time and effort he put into building his technical repertoire. It describes him as a pedagogical and inspiring instructor with a holistic view of the job, and as a mentor invested in his students' technical and personal development. His results follow him up through the belts. As a blue belt he took bronze in the light division (73.5 kg) at the 2015 British National IBJJF Championship. At purple belt, the club's own results posts list a gold at 76 kg at the Oslo Summer Open 2018 and a silver at 77 kg at the Swedish Open that November. The same posts record a bronze at 76 kg in the professional division of the BJJ Scandinavia Open in 2019. In 2023, the year before his black belt, he placed third among master 1 brown belts in the middle weight class (82.3 kg) at the European IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship.
