My journey into martial arts began at the age of nine with Judo, inspired by my father and brothers who were practitioners. This early passion led me to practice diligently for five years. At fifteen, I discovered Jiu-Jitsu through my older brothers and earned my black belt at 25 under Professor Edgar Castaldelli (Team Nucleo Fights, Ribeirão Preto-SP-Brazil). Today, I proudly hold a 4th-degree black belt, recognized by CruBJJP (Brazilian Confederation of Multisport Jiu Jitsu).
My exploration of martial arts continued with Boxing and Muay Thai, which I first encountered at 16 and 17 years old, respectively. In 2018, I received my Kruang Dark Blue graduation (Muay Thai instructor) from Master Warner Hammerle (Team Nogueira), and I am also a certified boxing coach by USA Boxing .
My professional MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) career began with a striking 15-second TKO victory, leading to a total of six professional bouts, comprising three wins, one draw, and two losses.
Martial arts is more than a discipline to me; it’s a lifelong passion that has brought immense benefits like health, self-confidence, strength, happiness, and peace of mind. Training and teaching martial arts is not just my profession—it’s a joy. Witnessing the positive impact and happiness it brings to my students’ lives is profoundly fulfilling.
