Davi Cabral is a highly competitive grappler and black belt in Jiu-Jitsu. As a black belt, Davi has gained a massive reputation in the entire BJJ world.

2.1. Davi Cabral’s Early Life

When Davi was in nursery school, he started practicing martial arts. Based on his interest, Davi started learning the Muay Thai program at the age of 11 and then kept his practice for some years. Then in 2010, Davi stepped ahead and started his advanced Jiu-Jitsu journey to grab attention in the BJJ community. Due to his efficient performance, Davi became a professional blue belt at the age of 17. Davi got married to Carol Campos who is also a black belt.

2.2. Davi Joined the Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Davi was highly inspired by Anderson Silva’s famous triangle choke finish. At UFC 117, Anderson applied this technique and defeated Chael Sonnen. Considering his interest and inspiration, Davi joined a Jiu-Jitsu academy where he was trained under Bruno Granola and Everaldo Penco.

2.3. Davi Cabral’s Achievements

In all colored belt divisions, Davi Cabral conquered numerous important titles in BJJ tournaments including the Pan American No-Gi Championships, Brazilian National No-Gi Championships, Copa Podio’s Iron Brown Belt, and the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) European Open Championships.

2.4. Davi’s Black Belt

In October 2022, Davi Cabral became an influential personality in Jiu-Jitsu after earning the black belt under a top grappling instructor and chief head of GF Team Academy, Júlio César Pereira.  Davi not only earned his black belt from Julio but also his purple and brown belts.

2.5. Davi’s BJJ Routine

The Jiu-Jitsu training routine of Davi Cabral was extremely consistent and he always effectively took care of his health. Once in an interview, he said:

"I usually train in a simple and arduous way, in my opinion, the secret is consistency, how long can you maintain this strong training routine? I entered college a short time ago and soon after I stopped, to improve my consistency and dedicate myself 100% to the life of an athlete. I do my Jiu Jitsu training twice a day: I go to Méier, GF Team headquarters, where I do my competition training at 2 pm, and in the evening I train in the commercial class at Professor Bruno Granola's academy, where I work more on positions and always end up doing a few more rolls. As for the physical part, I do it in the morning, I usually use weight training as a way to generate a complement to my game that is more explosive. In supplementation I use Protein and BCAA, in addition, I sometimes use a pre-workout to help lose weight, when necessary.
