Another step taken on this long journey… 24 years in jiu-jitsu, 14 as a black belt… This weekend was more than special. In a great seminar, I had the opportunity to share knowledge alongside people I always had as idols of our sport … Robson Moura, Vitor Shaolin and Bruno Bastos were always references for me and to make the moment even more special I had the honor to be graduated with my 4th degree in black belt by my great friend Bruno Bastos, unique moment next to my idols, the guys that I always tried to mirror me …
Jiu-Jitsu for me is a lifestyle and I would like to give a special thanks to the guy who showed me the way to live every moment in the sport, my master Rodrigo Feijão the guy who formed me a black belt and put me on the stage… It would be perfect in the near future to have a great seminar with him and all these champions who have helped me a lot in the course of my career… My thanks also extend to my family, especially my wife Karine Marodim who is at my side all days encouraging and helping me in internal and external battles.
