Bruno is a highly accomplished practitioner, having won multiple World Championships in the middleweight division, including the European, Pan American, South American, and Mundial World Championships. After moving to Sydney, Australia in 2011, Bruno's vision was to share his passion for Jiu-Jitsu and teach the art to as many people as possible. With his dedication and winning mindset, Bruno has successfully created the fastest-growing martial arts school in Australia.
