My history in Jiu-Jitsu began in 1958 at the legendary Serrana de Teresópolis academy in the state of Rio de Janeiro, of master Geny Rebelo de Azevedo, an academy committed to the development of the student mentally and technically, under the teaching of master Geny. The Jiu-Jitsu developed at the time featured full Jiu-Jitsu, with training aimed at learning and perfecting standing fighting contemplating falls and levers, the classic ground fight of root Jiu-Jitsu, defense full staff, anything goes training, self-defense actions with emphasis on firearm attack, melee weapon and miscellaneous attacks. Black Belt since 1972 under master Geny, I started my career on the mats as a teacher in my own academy, located in the Flamengo neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, the teaching methodology was based on full Jiu-Jitsu where I prioritized all aspects of the modality with an emphasis on Personal Defense. Kept the gym running until 1976, at the end of the academy's activities, I moved my residence to the city of São Paulo, where I moved away from the paid activities of Jiu-Jitsu. In São Paulo in the early 1980s, I dedicated myself to teaching Jiu-Jitsu to my children and guests of our academy, closed to the general public. After an invitation from the São Paulo Jiu-Jitsu Federation, I approached FPJJ and joined in 2014, not counting the previous years of Jiu-Jitsu. In recent years i carry out philanthropic activities with the young population of São Paulo state education in the Ipiranga neighborhood, developing self-defense actions for children and women and classic Jiu-Jitsu.
