Born in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, Professor Eduardo Novicki has been passionate about sports from a young age, starting Karate at 6 years old and exploring various sports such as soccer, swimming, volleyball, and basketball.
He began practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in 2010 and has since earned his black belt, transforming his life both physically and mentally.
BJJ helped him lose 37kg and, more importantly, fostered his confidence and resilience. As an instructor, Eduardo holds First Aid & CPR certifications and a Working with Children’s Check.
He has been a 3x Paraná BJJ Champion and earned top placements in prestigious events like the IBJJF Parana Winter Open and CBLP World Black Belt competition. Outside of BJJ, Eduardo enjoys surfing, gym workouts, reading, and watching UFC. He believes in the power of perseverance, quoting, "It's not about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; that's how winning is done!"
Eduardo is great with kids and our students love him! We know you will love his classes too.
