How did you get into this position and how did your journey in this sport go?

The journey is not easy you need to work a lot, unfortunately, jiu-jitsu is an expensive sport you need sponsorship or support to be able to go to all competitions, and in my case, I need to reconcile studies, training and competitions, but that’s what I like to do.

Do you take sports as a profession or is it just a hobby?

In the future a profession for me.

Discipline, respect and union.
