Eduardo Tinoco is a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt under Gustavo and Caio Almeida, being a representative of the Almeida JJ (AJJ) academy when competing in the sport's Brazilian circuit (and the Atos JJ internationally, a team to which the Almeida association is affiliated). Tinoco broke out as one of jiu jitsu's hottest prospects back in 2017 (as referenced by BJJ Heroes) after conquering his first International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) World Championship title as a brown belt.
