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.
