Biography
Amy Scot Campo was born on January 30, 2000, in Utah, United States, and grew up around Sunset and Riverdale near Ogden. She did not come from a wealthy sporting background; BJJ Heroes recounts that her family first managed martial-arts tuition for her older brother Ryder, and Amy joined after watching one of his classes with her father. On April 18, 2013, at age 13, she began training kickboxing, MMA, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Eduardo Mori. Jiu-jitsu became the focus, and Mori's Ogden-area program became both her technical base and, by Campo's own account, a major source of support off the mats.
Campo built her reputation through the IBJJF colored-belt circuit before the broader no-gi audience knew her name. As a juvenile in 2017 she won American Nationals and medaled at Pans. At purple belt she reached the 2018 IBJJF World Championship medium-heavy final, then won No-Gi Worlds later that year. BJJ Heroes lists repeated American National No-Gi titles in 2019, 2020, and 2021, and a brown-belt peak in 2021 that included Pan No-Gi and IBJJF World Championship gold. After double gold at the 2021 Worlds as a brown belt, Mori promoted her to black belt on the podium on December 15, 2021.
Her rookie black-belt season turned her into a world-level name. FloGrappling highlighted her 2022 ADCC West Coast Trials run, where she submitted Maggie Grindatti and Paige Ivette and beat Elisabeth Clay convincingly on points to win the women's 60+ kg bracket. That June she became the first American woman in more than a decade to reach the black-belt Worlds open-class final, losing by referee decision to Gabrieli Pessanha. In September at ADCC 2022, Campo defeated Clay, four-time ADCC champion Gabi Garcia, and Rafaela Guedes to win the +60 kg world title, becoming the first American woman to win that ADCC division. She closed the season with IBJJF World No-Gi gold at medium-heavy and silver in the absolute.
Campo continued to prove the result was not a one-off. In 2023 she won the IBJJF World Championship at black belt medium-heavy, beating Maria Malyjasiak in the final, and took silver at Pans and Polaris 23. In 2024 she earned IBJJF World bronze in both medium-heavy and absolute, won American National titles in gi and no-gi, and returned to ADCC, where FloGrappling's finals results list her as the women's absolute bronze medalist after wins including Amanda Leve. Technically, Campo is known for strong top pressure, knee-cut passing into side-control and back-control transitions, judo and wrestling-style takedowns, and a traditional guard game; BJJ Heroes' record data shows a high submission rate led by rear naked chokes, armbars, and bow-and-arrow chokes. Now listed publicly as Amy Campo Weaver, she teaches at Victory Academy in Savannah, Georgia, while retaining the Zenith/Eduardo Mori lineage that shaped her championship career.
