ABOUT ME

Thank you for visiting my website. This particular site of mine is dedicated to my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey as well as the health and fitness aspects of my life. I am currently a four-strip white belt. I started Jiu-Jitsu on June 2nd, 2020 at Gracie Barra Coral Springs in the Coral Springs/Margate area in South Florida. I fell in love with the art (although to me it is more of a science).

I will share thoughts on what I am learning in BJJ and how I apply it to my life as well as what I am learning in my life and how I apply it to BJJ. Thank you for joining my on my journey. Buckle up and let’s BORA!

EDUCATION

Gracie Barra Coral Springs - 4th Stripe

December 2020

Six months of training at Gracie Barra Coral Springs. Going to class on a consistent basis. Learned the most important lesson from Coach Gustavo which was how to manage my breathing. Focused on slowing down my mind so it could control my body movements rather than my body movements controlling my mind.

Gracie Barra Coral Springs - 3rd Stripe

October 2020

Four months of training and continuing to go through the Gracie Barra curriculum. Started live training and also learning how defenseless I have been my entire life. Working on establishing base, breathing, and not dying.

Gracie Barra Coral Springs - 2nd Stripe

August 2020

Training for two months at Gracie Barra Coral Springs. Had not started live training yet as there is a three-stripe requirement and we were still following the safety protocols of the pandemic.

Gracie Barra Coral Springs - 1st Stripe

July 2020

Started training at Gracie Barra Coral Springs on June 2nd, 2020 under the leadership and guidance of Professor Guilherme Lyra. It was right after Florida lifted COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
