In my Free Time:

I practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu^? since 10 years old, and I learn a lot of lessons, loosing, wining, teaching, and I enjoy this art, due to be 100% Brazilian, and teached by the first time in Belém( my born city) , in 1925 by his creator: Carlos Gracie, after classes with Konde Koma, but it's a long history. One of my personal dreams is to teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a social project in my country.
