Professor Zeidan (Black Belt BJJ)
I am Zeidan a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black belt, born in Sao Paulo SP - Brazil and raised in South Brazil, Florianopolis city. I have started Jiu-Jitsu in 2004 at the age of 16 in a very traditional gym under the Gracie Family named Rillion Gracie Gym. At that time there weren’t a lot of Black Belts teaching in Brazil, So I started taking my classes under the tuition of Master Claudio Almeida Couto Arrais. He was the first black belt under Rillion Gracie in the south Brazil.
I fought several competitions when I was white and blue belt, and as every competitor, I have won and lost some competitions. Back on that day, I can`t even remember properly, the rules were a bit different and the competitions were not organised at all. I believe, it was a moment of Jiu-Jitsu, where although the things were a bit “wild” and “rough” inside the competitions, it was still very pleasant to share that time fighting and having fun with my friend. I have uncountable stories about that time.
As I was still at school age I was sharing my training routine between studies and the exams to get in public universities in brazil. So, I only started taking things serious in 2010, when I was a purple belt. I remember participating of all the local competitions, but mostly 2 big international tournaments that we had at that time - The South Brazilian Championship and The International South American Championship. I fought in 2010 and 2011 as a purple belt. Both times I got 3rd place in my weight division (middle heavyweight – 88,300kg with kimono). The 3rd place fight in 2010, was against Paulo Myiao a well-known high competitional fighter nowadays. Also, in 2011 I got a few hard injuries. I did my collateral ligament on the right knee and I got a herniated disk removed in the same year. In the end of 2011 I earned my brown belt. I remember I had crutches on my graduation day, but even so, It was amazing. In 2012, I was sharing my MBA work time and training jiu-jitsu which was very hard. I recall taking strength and conditioning classes that used to start 10:30pm. In 2014 I earned my black belt after a lot of hard work. Also, in the same year I joined a local tournament named state of Santa Catarina Jiu-Jitsu Cup, in which I got 1st place after 4 hard fights in the heavyweight (94,300kg) category.
In 2015 I joined Abu Dhabi Educational Consul (ADEC) project in UAE, and though I had been teaching jiu-jitsu before, it was the first time in my life I got my living from the sport. I was also the head coach of the Al Ruwais Jiu-Jitsu Club in Abu Dhabi. Later in 2017, I got assigned to train the Abu Dhabi Police Officers at the Al Jimi Police Officers Club and to teach the Nacional Army Service in Sweihan Military Complex in Abu Dhabi.
I love training and teaching jiu-jitsu, however the most valuable lesson that the sport has shown me was making friends and having fun. And, this is the main Brazilian jiu-jitsu spirit, having a nice time with friends, gaining self-respect, confidence and preparing not only for a competition but for life.
BJJ for life OSSSS
