Dedeco Seminar • Professor Rafael Formiga 6th Degree Ceremony • Adult Belt Promotion 🥋

What a day!
If there’s one word that truly defined this day, it was Emotion.
So much emotion, tribute, and love filled the room and overflowed from every moment.

And that’s what truly matters.
That is the real meaning of it all.

FAMILY • RESPECT • LOYALTY

NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸
Today, we remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the families forever changed.
May we never forget the courage, sacrifice, strength, and unity shown on that day. We honor their memory by carrying those values forward and teaching future generations to do the same.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸 9/11/2001 by @doublefivejiujitsu_hv

Líder da escola @doublefivejiujitsu_hv, o professor GMI @rafael_formiga vive uma fase de maturidade na carreira. Concilia a rotina de atleta com a missão de professor e gestor, mantendo o foco tanto em suas atuações nas grandes arenas, quanto no desenvolvimento de seus alunos.

Destaque na categoria médio master 3 dos principais eventos da IBJJF, Formiga construiu sua carreira ao lado de nomes importantes do Jiu-Jitsu, como André Almeida “Dedeco”, que o graduou a faixa-preta; Aleksey Cruz, Ricardo Libório e Ricardo De La Riva. Com eles, aprendeu valores que carrega até hoje.

“A lição mais importante que aprendi é a lealdade e a gratidão. Independente de onde você chegar, as suas raízes estarão sempre lá.”

Sem eleger uma única luta como a mais importante, Formiga valoriza o momento presente e suas conquistas mais recentes. “Já tive várias grandes batalhas, mas não classifico nenhuma mais que a outra. O que importa realmente é jamais subestimar o oponente e lutar até o final, não desistir ou amarelar quando a situação parece ruim, não se desesperar”, ensina. 💎

Como líder, nosso GMI deixa claro o seu propósito: “Como professor, busco incentivar os meus alunos e fazer com que eles fiquem cada dia melhores e conquistem seus objetivos. Como gestor é continuar fazendo a minha academia crescer com qualidade e sempre mantendo o ambiente familiar.”
