Hobbys:
Ken -Jitsu:
Ken-Jitsu is the art of conducting a Samurai's sword.
(Ken = sword, Jitsu = art)
It's practice improves balance, perception, precision
and develops self control. Ken-Jitsu is unquestionable
a magnificent art that makes me close to the Japanese
culture. The most important name in this art is the
number one Samurai in Japanese History, Myamoto
Musashi.
In Brazil, Master Jorge Kishikawa is Ken Jitsu's major
representative.

Rock Climbing and Mountaineering
I've always been a fan of Rock Climbing. I've been
practicing this sport since I was 11 years old and I
do find it very challenging. The conquer of a mountain
involves physical preparation, positioning techniques,
correct use of equipments and application of the
knowledge of physics.
The climber is always going beyond his limits, besides
being always in straight contact with the nature.
My favorite climbing spots are: Pão de Açúcar,
Corcovado and Pedra da Gávea in Rio de Janeiro and
Dedo de Deus and Pedra do Sino in Teresópolis.

Surf:
Surfing has always being a pleasure to me. Since I won
my first surf board when I was 6 years old, I have
never stopped surfing. I learn how to surf in Búzios
and in Leme, where I live. I became a good amateur
athlete surfing in many competitions. I also had the
chance of surfing big waves in Hawaii (Sunset,
Pipeline, Waimea, etc.).
My favorite points are: Leme and Prainha in Rio de
Janeiro, Geribá in Búzios and all the places in
Hawaii.

Sky Dive:
I've made 25 jumps what doesn't make me an expert but
I love the "adrenaline"in this sport. The hight, speed
and anxiety make this practice very exciting. I've
jumped in beautiful places like North Shore of Oahu in
Hawaii, the plains of Illinois, Barra da Tijuca and
Resende in Rio de Janeiro.

Motorcycling
I have a Passion for motorcycles since I was a child.
I ride a old CB 400 every day as my transportation. In
2000 I took some courses in piloting speed bikes in
real tracks. I also had the chance of riding many
awesome motorcycles as: Ducati, Honda, Aprilia,
Yamaha, Triumph and Suzuki from 250cc to 1200cc in
professional circuits. Reaching more than 280K/h on
straight track and having to reduce to make a curve
sliding the knee, turns this sport into a very radical
one. My biggest idol is Valentino Rossi.
