My father was a teacher his entire life, and so he transferred that love for teaching onto me. When I teach, I always try to find new and more insightful ways to explain a technique, a move, or a concept – an approach which I adapt to the different students that learn Jiu-Jitsu. To their different personalities, different body types, and different levels of physical conditioning.
Thanks to my job, I frequently travel abroad for business. When I do, I always bring a gi with me and try to keep myself active while travelling. Altogether, BJJ has opened up doors for me and, thanks to Professor Augusto Frota, I was always very well-welcomed everywhere I went to. Ultimately, BJJ makes me happy – and I'm blessed to have been given an opportunity to help other people feel that happiness as well.
