Biography:
A resident of Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, he started jiu-jitsu in 1986, at the age of 15, influenced by one of his close friends Ralph Gracie. At 18 years old at purple belt, he suffered a serious knee injury and had to re-adapt his training and thus, developed the techniques for attacking for the Half Guard Position
Today, half guard is one of the fundemental positions in jiu-jitsu and MMA . In 1993, at age 22, he became black belt and won many national and international titles, devoting himself as a professional competitor.
