How it all started..

I walked into my first BJJ class by accident! As I signed with a gym, in Rio de Janeiro, to start my weight lifting program for being overweight at the age of 15, got completely lost and ended up on the third floor, where they had a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy. Completely clueless where the exit was, I was approached by the World Champion and Alliance Founder Alexandre ``Gigi`` Paiva, who suggested me to join a trial class. After a few seconds of sheer peer pressure I was convinced to join the class, thus beginning my love for the Art. Alexandre took me under his wing and pushed me to compete after one month of training. I`ve trained and competed through Alliance until purple belt (2017), when I moved to Australia. 

Before moving here I already knew where, to train, Southside had made its name overseas and Vicente opened his doors to me and showed me a different perspective on how to look at Jiu Jitsu. In 2019 I started coaching at Southside being graded Black Belt on the following year, at 25 years old.
