“My name is Alexander Faria, also known as Deda Faria. I’m Brazilian, 41 years old and came to live in Russia two years ago. I started practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Aracaju,Brazil, almost 22 years ago. My master, Eduardo Hernandes was from a team called Strauch, Rio de Janeiro, but in 2001 we moved to Alliance team under Alexandre (Gigi) Paiva. ”

How he ended up teaching BJJ in Russia:

“In february 2012, Alexandre Paiva called me and asked me if i wanted to come to Moscow,Russia to coach in Alliance here for a 3 month period. At first, I thought it wouldn’t be possible because of my work. Too much time to be absent. But talking to my family I decided to give it a try and check it out. It would be something like a paid vacation.
It was a great experience. I had a great support from the team, the training was awesome, and it was nice to see BJJ in a different way, because here almost everybody has some background, coming from Sambo, Judo or wrestling. I learned how committed the Russian athletes are and I learned to respect them even more. I knew little about Sambo for instance, but even coaching BJJ my respect for these others modalities increased. I stayed in Russia and the rest is history.”
