SPORTS BACKGROUND
In primary school, I participated in the sport of gymnastics and continued with basketball. When I reached secondary school, I start visiting my local gym and I was immediately hooked by weightlifting. I stopped practicing sports and began daily gym visits. I never stopped practicing weightlifting since then!
After some time, I start trying various martial arts: kick-boxing, muay-thai, boxing, and wrestling. In 2018, while I was living in France, I began practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at United Fight Team (UFT Nantes), under the black belt professor Cédric Llorens. I was fast fascinated by the mental complexity and the physiological demands of the sport! As soon as I arrived in Edinburgh. I started training again at Coração Valente Academy of Jiu-Jitsu, under the black belt professor Ben Fletcher.
