Since then, I have dedicated myself to training athletes who have gone on to become champions at the state, national, and world levels in both Jiu-Jitsu and no-gi wrestling.

As a certified referee, I have completed courses with multiple federations and remain actively involved in the refereeing community. I was honored to receive the Best Referee of the Year award from the Brazilian Confederation of No-Gi Luta Livre in 2018, recognizing my commitment and expertise in the field.
