Professional qualified instructors, ready to provide you with the best training experience.
I’m originally from Porto Alegre, Brazil. I have been training brazilian jiu jitsu since I was 14 years old in 1998. In 2005 when I was 21 years old I arrived in Australia to learn the language and a bit of life experience. After one year I was in love with this country and had decided to live in the Northern Beaches.
I’m a Business Graduate and have successfully concluded my Financial Broker training. I am very fortunate to find my true passion in life teaching brazilian jiu jitsu. Since then I have been living a dream to be able to teach this amazing gentle art and most important to be working with Children helping them developing a character for life.
My vision is to change people’s life through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu however it goes beyond from whatever concept you might have about it. Brazilian jiu jitsu is a life style and my focus is to give people chance to become a better person, a better husband, a better wife, a better friend, a better son/daughter, to respect and to learn to be respected. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will change your life in many different ways.
I’m also the Chief Instructor, founder and owner of Gracie Barra Bondi School since 2013. I’m a Black Belt with over 24 years of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Professor Marcelo Rezende.
I have been pivotal to the expansion of Gracie Barra schools in Australia, having involvement in the set up of Gracie Barra Hornsby, Gracie Barra Orange and Gracie Barra Bondi, other than our newest Gracie Barra Mona Vale.
I’ve successfully been running Brazilian Jiu Jitsu schools for over 10 years now.
