Brazilian Jiu-jitsu: From The Favela To The World

The BJJ documentary "From the Favela to the World" features Alan do Nascimento, better known as "Finfou".
Finfou grew up in the Favela of Cantagalo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil surrounded by crime and violence which tragically took the lives of his two brothers. Fortunately, Finfou chose a different path after a random encounter with jiu-jitsu pioneer Fernando “Tereré”.
Tereré convinced Finfou to try jiu-jitsu through a social project created to help children get off the streets and thus sparked a lifelong passion for the future IBJJF World champion.
Today, Alan Finfou is living and teaching in Sweden, where he has established himself as the head submission coach at Allstars Training Center, an organization famous for its world-class MMA fighters such as UFC stars Alexander "The Mauler" Gustafsson and Khamzat "Borz" Chimaev, among others.

If you are training Jiu-Jitsu, then you know how much your life has improved since you took your first step onto the Tatami. A few years in, we are all asking ourselves why we didn't start earlier or what our lives would have looked like had we had BJJ while growing up. You learn how to become humble, and how to be patient, and as your skills progress, your confidence follows. BJJ gives a sense of belonging, a true purpose, and friendships that last a lifetime. However, not everyone is as fortunate as we are. Realizing this, we strongly believe that BJJ gives meaning and provides a purpose for everyone, especially for kids in the favelas.

Legal o video sobre sua vida.
Sou do RJ, fui criada em Vicente de Carvalho na subida do Morro do Juramento (não sei se já ouviu falar). Hoje moro em Berlim. Sou Enfermeira e trabalho aqui e sinto muita vontade de ajudar jovens brasileiros a ter novas oportunidades além dakela q a gente já conhece.
Espero um dia poder te conhecer pra bater um papo. Aqui tem muitos brazucas, mas não conheço cariocas e sinto a "mó" falta de trocar aquela idéia manera com alguém q vai entender o jeito que eu falo.

E se um dia vier pra Berlim dá um alô pra gente tomar uma cerva por aki.

Sucesso ai na sua trajetoria!!

Finfou is what would happen if Ghostface Killah had discovered BJJ instead of Hip Hop.
