My name is "Maurinho" and I was born in Rio de Janeiro, on april 7, 1981. I have been training jiu-jitsu for 10 years and I learned it among the best in the world and I also became one of the best.
I received my black belt at the same time my great friend "Monteirão"(Marcello C. Monteiro) received his.
We have been training together for 10 years. Using his guard techniques he always gives even the heavier guys, a hard time. He is always creating new positions, he is an excellent fighter and always loyal to the De La Riva's team.
