Opening a martial arts school, I jumped at the opportunity. Although I had no prior experience, I quickly fell in love with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It not only challenged me physically, but also mentally. The technical aspect of the sport fascinated me, and I dedicated myself to learning and improving.
Over the years, I have trained relentlessly and earned my brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I am also a certified instructor at Ako Martial Arts. Teaching others has become a true passion of mine, as I enjoy sharing my knowledge and helping students reach their full potential.
