My story

People call me Guimma, or Coach Guimma. I discovered martial arts at the age of five. It taught me discipline and how to navigate hard times. It helped me discover who I am.

I am a former Brazilian Muay Thai champion. I have competed all over the world for more than ten years, including in A-Class Dutch kickboxing, one of the toughest leagues in the world.

I am from Curitiba, Brazil, where Muay Thai for MMA was born. I had the privilege of watching the growth of the legendary Chute Boxe gym from the mat. This style developed many UFC world champions, such as Anderson Silva, Wanderlei Silva, Shogun and Cris Cyborg — whom I had the pleasure of coaching — as well as many other professional fighters.

I meet all kinds of people every day, and the truth is that everybody is fighting for something. Now I want to use my expertise to help everyone. In my journey as a coach, I have watched my students benefit not only in their physical fitness, but also in their quality of life, mental health, focus at work, confidence and even their personal relationships, thanks to lower stress.

I look forward to meeting you, not only to help you reach your goals, but to surpass them.
