Welison Gregorio - 1st Dan (Shodan)

University Student - Physical Education

“My role today in the project today is to do exactly what Sensei does, to change lives, just as it changed mine”

When I was little, I faced many problems with my father and mother and I had examples to grow in the wrong way. Within my reality it was always very normal to grow up and just survive and although I was not predisposed to get involved with the wrong things, I had no a lot of perspective on the future.

Many people said that judo was a sport of grabbing a man and that it would not take me anywhere and today I live on judo, which welcomed me and is becoming a great professional, thank God.

If today I am studying Physical Education at the University, it is thanks to this wonderful sport that showed that everything is possible through study and that changed my life.”

Welison has always shown himself to be a very special boy, with a giant heart. He arrived at the project at the age of 12, very friendly and helpful. Today, he is a multiplier of the methodology and one of our greatest pride.
