In 2017 Tayane achieved the unprecedented feat of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu's equivalent of a Grand Slam by winning her weight category and the absolute category at all 4 major Gi Championships – World Championship, European Open Championship, Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championship and Brazilian Nationals Championship.
She started 2018 also winning the 2018 European Open Championship again in both her weight category and the absolute category.[1] Tayane missed the 2018 Pan Ams but came back after a slight injury to win her category and the absolute at the 2018 Brazilian Nationals.[2]. She then followed that by once again winning her category and the absolute at the 2018 World Championships.
Tayane began training in 2010 at Mestre Márcio Rodrigues academy. In 2014 she moved to train with Mestre Alexandre Paiva at the 11x World Champions Alliance Jiu Jitsu Club in Rio de janeiro.[3]
Tayane ended 2018 as the number one black belt female competitor in the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation rankings.[4]
In April 2019 Tayane announced she would be leaving Alliance and joining Gracie Barra to train in London.[5]
In October 2019 Tayane won a bronze medal at the 2019 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship.[6]
