Miscellaneous

BJJ
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)

BJJ is a martial art and combat sport based on ground fighting and submission holds. It focuses on controlling and submitting opponents.

  • I have been training for BJJ since Jan. 2023 and I got my blue belt on Jun. 2024.
  • Thanks to Mr.Pedro, our best coach, for always being so patient.
Calligraphy
Chinese Calligraphy

Chinese calligraphy is the art of beautiful handwriting with a history of thousands of years. It combines artistic expression with the philosophy of balance and harmony.

  • I started to write calligraphy since 4.
  • I mainly practice the Ou Style (欧体), known for its precise structure and elegant strokes.
