Ana Talita Oliveira Alencar (born October 17, 1990) is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt under Theodoro Canal and Júlio César Pereira. As an athlete Talita built her career in the lower belt divisions of the sport, competing under the GF Team banner for whom she earned important titles such as the IBJJF World Championships (Gi and No-Gi) and American Nationals. Shortly after she earned her black belt (2016) Talita Alencar swapped teams, moving to the Alliance Academy hub in Los Angeles, where she joined forces with Rubens Charles “Cobrinha”.

Background
Talita Alencar was born in Carutapera, a city in the countryside of Maranhão – Brazil. Always a sports orientated child, Talita started swimming lessons at the age of 4, later going through triathlon (which she practised for 7 years), surfing, longboarding (skate) and even capoeira. At 9 years old Talita moved to Fortaleza in the state of Ceará. During her early teenage years Alencar started dating Hélio Mourão, of Gracie Barra Fortaleza. In a time when she was losing the drive to compete in triathlon, Alencar became interested in her boyfriend’s activity. Talita witnessed marital abuse on many occasions within her family, actions which helped shape her decision of adding grappling classes to her training schedule, starting in 2004 at Pirillo Roriz’ academy.
