My name is Ricardo.
I'm 29 years old.
I'm from Brazil, I practise Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
I'm purple belt and I'm an instructor.
I used to dream
of becoming a superhero.
Since I didn't have any super powers,
I started pushing myself
to become the best I could.
I thought I could use martial arts
to help change the world,
to try and push myself to the limit,
to become a better man, a better person.
I started karate when I was 6 years old.
I did Muay Thai, kickboxing,
wrestling, boxing
and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which is my passion.
For me, martial arts are part of life.
You sleep with martial arts,
you wake up, you eat, you breathe,
you talk, you live, you act...
Everything you do is martial arts.
My project is to open Brazilian jiu-jitsu schools
all around the world.
I want to open my first school in Milan
because I have been living there since 2005.
I know everyone.
It has become my city.
Of course I'm ready. That's why I do martial arts:
to be ready at any time.
Whether I win or not,
I'm going on with my project.
