In this year alone Kaynan has scored victories of Marcus “Buchecha” Almeida, Rodolfo Veira, Leandro Lo, Nicholas Meragali, Yuri Simoes, Craig Jones and Patrick Gaudio. This was the greatest year any competitor has ever had as a first-year black belt.

Originally from São Paulo, Brazil, Kaynan’s first martial art was Judo but quickly his experience in Judo let him to BJJ. Always looking to improve, Kaynan would make trips to PSLPB to train under the eyes of Cicero Costa and Baurau to work with Coach Ledesna who was affiliated with Atos. Kaynan would make his first trip to Atos HQ in 2016 were he quickly formed a strong bond with team leader Andre Galvao. He first caught the eyes of the Jiu Jitsu World in 2017 when he won the ultra-competitive Brazil ADCC trials as a 19-year-old Purple belt. Since then Kaynan has taken the BJJ world by storm. Around this time Kaynan would relocate to San Diego, California to train alongside Jiu Jitsu Legend Andre Galvao. Here Kaynan would receive his brown and black belts while going on to win every major event both Gi and Nogi.
