Livia Bezerra

Livia Bezerra's father introduced her to jiu-jitsu.

Biography

In November 2023, Livia Bezerra told O Liberal that she had trained jiu-jitsu for ten years, starting in childhood with family support. Her father introduced her and sought sponsors. The newspaper reported three wins and a Castanhal title in the adult women's blue-belt 53.5kg category on her second adult appearance. She credited calm organization with helping her concentrate on practiced skills, took pride in representing Barcarena and was preparing for a regional championship, studying theory and especially practice. By 2026, she described preparing Clara technically and mentally at Next Level after nervous finals, having taught her since assisting elsewhere. Clara won the Paraense. Her team respected Daniely's decision to stop competing when crowds frightened her; she recognized Barcarena athletes across academies without rivalry.
