About Me
Professional Profile
From an early age, I developed a strong passion for combat sports, which has shaped both my personal and professional journey. At the age of 15, I began practicing Full-Contact and became a federated athlete under the guidance of Master Fernando Fernandes, a world and intercontinental champion who mentored me through my first competitive experiences.
Driven by a deep interest in self-defense, I embraced Krav Maga over a decade ago, training with Master António Diogo from FPAMI — the Portuguese Federation of Israeli Martial Arts, a non-profit organization with nearly two decades of experience promoting and developing Israeli Martial Arts in Portugal, especially Krav Maga. I also trained with Master Vitor Martins, through whom I obtained my official trainer certification from IPDJ (Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth). I continue to train regularly, exploring new approaches and techniques to enrich my practice and instruction.
The values that guide my journey are discipline, commitment, dedication, and resilience — principles I apply both in my athletic practice and in mentoring others.
