RIP Tiago Alves

Portuguese multi-medal winner judoka and young Judo prospect Tiago Alves passed away yesterday losing a battle with cancer. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

For those who understand Portuguese, you can read his touching and motivational blog here.


Descansa em paz Tiago.

Training at ArtSuave

Yesterday I trained for the first time at ArtSuave - located at Bom Sucesso Health Club, Boavista (Porto) to be more precise - and I loved it.

There are morning classes at Monday, Wednesday and Friday while night classes are at Tuesday and Thursday. Saturday there's what some have described to me as a monster class with people from both schedules and fitting training which I can't wait to experience, eheh.
