Who is Caveirinha?

Professor Aldo “Caveirinha” Januário received his Black Belt at the age of 20 and began teaching at his own academy located in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Since then, he has been promoted to 5th degree Black Belt; a level reached by only a handful of Jiu Jitsu masters. Despite a very promising future in competition, Aldo chose to focus on his real passion: Teaching. His passion has led him to cultivate numerous champions, and he is still going strong.
