“I received from the hands of my Master Ricardo Vieira Alcantara my BLACK BELT, I am very happy for this merit achieved with a lot of willpower, dedication, discipline and respect, I want to thank everyone who took part in this journey, I will not cite names, I know there were many people to the inner world (Thank you)
Now I know that many things will change, it’s already changed, now I find myself focused to prepare for the big competition in the world, and I will train very hard to get to my goal and dream. May take, I’ll be persistent as I was with my American visa, always trying and never give up.
I want to thank my whole family for the continued support, especially my mom Simone Sousa Hilario, who always believed that one day I would be a champion, I love you!”
We look forward to seeing this heavyweight in the black belt division.
