About Me:

I have a gorgeous little hottie of a girlfriend, Becky and live on the Northern Beaches in Sydney. Life's good. I work in the fitness industry as a PT & MA coach and I have been training capoeira for about 6 years under my master & friend, Mestre Cicatriz. For years I've been known as "Maconha", but recently I was renamed "Trovão" (basically because I have a loud explosive kind of persona).

About My Mestre:
My master, Mestre Cicatriz was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Here's a sample taken from his story on our site:

"Renato's name is very reflective of his fast paced style of play and torpedo-like movements, while mine better describes my attitude that has led me to carry the scar I have imprinted across my chest. As an adolescent I found myself on the streets of Rio parading the new bike that my father had given me. It was a worthless gift but one of the few I had received in my life. It represented the fruit of my father's labour and therefore I decided it was worth my life. As it was, I was assaulted by two hooligans who, unable to release my grip of the bike, thought it might help to cut my chest open with a knife. Well it did help: the blood scared them away while I tightened my grip on the toy. The fact that my intestines were on display was of no importance. The fact I had not lost my bike, was."
