He did karate between the ages of eight and 12. At age 15 he got involved in judo. (olimpiadatododia.com.br, 13 Jul 2020; esportes.r7.com, 24 Apr 2019)

He tried karate because he has always liked Eastern philosophy. The classes in his city were then cancelled, so he transferred to judo. "I took up judo at age 15 and it was love at first sight. I liked learning new things, the basics of the sport and its discipline. I loved the competitive environment and how everybody welcomed me. I felt, and still do, that this is a big family."

General
LATE START
He was a comparatively late starter in taking up the sport. "I started training in judo at age 15, an unusual age, which brought me enough trouble to learn the fundamentals. I had to train a lot, and do a lot of repetitions to develop the technique and assimilate it as part of my natural movements. Age was one of the greatest difficulties." (esporteessencial.com.br, 30 Oct 2012)

ARMY
He served as a member of the Brazilian Army until 2018. (Dividida YouTube channel, 14 Sep 2017)
