## Bio

Bruno Bastos was born on the 27th of March, 1980. He started training jiu-jitsu in 1990 when he was 10 under Neury Gomes, and he stayed training under Neury for the next year and a half. He then picked up training with Aílson Brites for a short spell before finally ending with Wendell Alexander (in 1993) the coach that followed Bruno until he reached his black belt.

Bruno Bastos’s career has been pretty impressive from the get-go, he started competing when he was still a yellow belt achieving the podium straight away, and he hasn’t stopped reaching the top spots of competitive BJJ since.

Another peculiarity of Bruno is the Bastos surname, a name of some significance in jiu-jitsu, as 6 of his family members also train and compete, they are Fernanda ( black belt), André (black belt), Ricardo (black belt), Bianca (black belt), Thiago and Felipe Bastos.

Just like his master, Wendell, Bruno Bastos is also involved in charity. In 2005 he created an organization called Arte Suave, an organization that tries to keep kids away from drugs through jiu-jitsu. He was also involved in the creation of the “Projeto Atos”, a project that started with Bruno Bastos and a few other Nova Uniao students that got together through their evangelic church.
