Early life
Neiman Gracie was born on 12 December 1988 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Gracie is the son of Carla Gracie (daughter of Robson Gracie), and Márcio Stambowsky.

As a purple belt Gracie won the Pan American Championship (both Gi and No-Gi), the American National and the NY International Open.
