I come from a rough place in Brazil called Favela do Cantagalo”
– I come from a rough place in Brazil called Favela do Cantagalo . I though I never would have the opportunity to not get involved in criminality like my father did and my two younger brothers, a criminal path that got both of my brothers killed. But one day a childhood friend introduced me to BJJ and from day one i knew it was a positive way and a great opportunity to be able to survive without put my life or my family’s life at risk. In other words BJJ made me overcome the odds and I will spend my hole life being grateful for what BJJ did for me and my family, avslutar Alan.
