Nico is one of the most highly trained martial artists in the world having begun training at age 10 and taking the Pan American Jiu Jitsu World Championship at age 49. He still loves to train constantly and wrestles with all his students. The one-on-one training clearly shows in the rapidly gained expertise of each one of his students.
He has earned a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt from Rio de Janeiro, a 7th Dan Jiu Jitsu black belt, now a red belt from Osaka, a 7th degree Judo black belt, a 5th Dan Shorin Ryu Karate black belt, a Master Muay Thai Instructor, and a Shaolin Kung-Fu black sash. |
