The words of the champion
September 27, 2009 by Graciemag
ADCC 2009 has a grand champion. Besides taking the under 88kg title, Braulio Estima defeated Xande Ribeiro to take the absolute one too.
“I just want to say that I could never have done it alone. I had lots of help. It’s not fair to claim victory for myself. I trained all I could. All my students helped me. My brother and coaches helped me in the gym. I’m always learning. I’m really happy, I had lots of support. My time has come. I trained really hard for this. I feel I performed well. I’d like to thank my wife, who gave me a lot of massages. I thank Ze Radiola, Roger Gracie, for the support,” said the champion.
In tears, Braulio went on: “To my father, my mother, my whole family. This is for you. Now I’m going to take a vacation. I’ll go to Brazil on Wednesday to see my parents. I want to send a big kiss to my son Julian. He will be really proud that I did what I did. I’m happy to have competed at a good level,” he finished.
