But a couple of months back he got into jiu-jitsu saying he’s constantly trying things outside of his comfort zone and developing new skills.

 

 

In his short tenure as a jiu-jiteiro he even managed to meet the two superstars – Joao and Paolo Miyao.

 

 

The hard work had paid off – Khalipu conquered his first tournament the US Open Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu taking place at the Kaiser Permanente Arena in Santa Cruz!
