Bio
In 2016 I started at then Gracie Barra Rotterdam my first class from Stefano van Bovene. Later the gym collectively switched to Satsang BJJ, under black belt Remco Pardoel. Graduated to blue in may 2019. And to purple in August 22 2021. September 17th 2023 I graduated to Brown under coaches Stefano van Bovene and Eric Bruce Spencer Andrade. Satsang BJJ Rotterdam then did a name switch to Elements MMA in the beginning of 2025. October 18 2025 I received my Black Belt from Remco Pardoel, while still training under Stefano van Bovene. Our lineage is Mitsuyo Maeda, Carlos Gracie Sr., Carlos Gracie Jr., Vinicius Magalhaes " Draculino", and Remco Pardoel, Stefano van Bovene. I hope to enjoy this game as long as possible.
