Beginning karate classes as soon as he could walk at age three, Luque eventually trained in multiple forms of martial arts - beginning in karate training at the young age of four. At six, Vicente relocated from Mexico to Brazil with his mother and continued training in karate until age 10.

After trying soccer for a short while, he transitioned into Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a teen before making the shift to mixed martial arts in 2008. By 2021, he had achieved both black belts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the Brazilian martial art, Luta Livre, on the same day.
