This week we are beaming all the way from the Texan city of Houston, although, our guest originally hails from the South American city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Which, not coincidentally, is also home to the famous family that our guest had the good fortune to be introduced to at a young age, and he's never looked back.
Professor Leonardo Xavier, who's often referred to as The Wizard is a world-renowned martial artist and the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame Inductee, Leonardo Xavier is a former multiple times Jiu-Jitsu world tournament medalist, a Pan-American champion, and Brazilian national champion, and fifth-degree black belt professor in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, with over 25 years of teaching experience.
