When and where did you start training Jiu-Jitsu?

I started training in 1998, in the city of Rio de Janeiro with my cousins. We were 6 young boys training together, almost like a Gracie Family (that is how we felt).  We only talked about Jiu-Jitsu all day long (this continues today, 3 of us are black belts and the fun conversation about Jiu-Jitsu is daily). My dream of making a living out of Jiu-Jitsu comes from that time.

When did you get your Black Belt?

In 2015, I was graduated black belt by my Professor Leonardo Tapias “Nado”. I feel very honored. He is a success story in the world of Jiu-Jitsu, loved and respected by everybody, myself included.

Why are you opening a school in Sweden?

I was living in the United Kingdom and teaching at Gracie Barra Europe Head Quarter, then I came to Stockholm for tourism purposes and just loved everything about Sweden, especially the people. I believe Jiu-Jitsu will fit very well within Swedish lifestyle.

What does Jiu-Jitsu mean to you?
Simple: Jiu-Jitsu is the mechanism for absolute evolution!
