We will note that now professor Bruniñyu Barbosa trains everyone in academy of the Brazilian ju-jitsu of Kyrgyzstan Top Team in Bishkek, and, similar practice is a peculiar innovation as classes are given directly by the ancestor of this sport both the high quality athlete and the trainer.

As it appeared, Bruno possesses tremendous sense of humour, and pupils simply adore it! Bruno speaks Portuguese and English languages, but his wards perfectly understand him.
Young and early!
As there was in Kyrgyzstan the Brazilian ju-jitsu - one of the youngest sports, and the republican federation began the existence quite recently - in 2012. However here it should be noted that for so short period our fighters quite successfully represent Kyrgyzstan on the international scene. So, Murtazali Murtazaliyev repeatedly won on the international tournaments Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Alma-Ata (Kazakhstan).
In 2013 other our athletes made a speech at the international Kazahstan Open BJJ CUP tournament in Alma-Ata also: Davron Marazykov, Naufal Zavrazhny, Evgeny Slesarenko, Abdurrahman Murtazaliyev. By the way, there they took the third all-command place that, undoubtedly, is good achievement. Opening of the first hall of the Brazilian ju-jitsu of Kyrgyzstan Top Team took place on September 1 last year in Bishkek.
But it so - short historical digression, we will ask some questions to our Brazilian guest.

My main task - to form excellent team on the Brazilian ju-jitsu, and a lot of time for this purpose is necessary. Few years for this purpose will be obviously insufficiently.

We also left recently on tournament to Kazakhstan, at them, of course, this sport is developed much better, it is more than halls more athletes and level is higher. But I am sure that I will be able to change this situation to the opposite side soon.

At me there are a lot of titles and medals - not to list at all. By the way, I took part in the first competitions when trained only two weeks!

- In Brazil I had a class of children - more than hundred people, they were engaged free of charge as it there was a social project.
- Whether you will allow athletes who will acquire your knowledge, to participate in commercial tournaments or, perhaps, act?
