I began my Jiu-Jitsu journey at the age of 15 through a social project in Maceió, Alagoas. By the time I was 16, I started teaching and have been sharing my knowledge ever since. Jiu-Jitsu has transformed my life in every way. I was shy and insecure, but everything changed when I understood the true meaning of this gentle art. Today, I am a living example of how Jiu-Jitsu can create social impact. My goal is to inspire others and share everything I have learned throughout this journey.
