Professor Alexandre “Gigi” Paiva just opened his newly remodeled academy last weekend.  After suffering a devastating fire 7 months ago.  Which burned his entire academy, mat, and black belt.  Gigi recovered and invested $30,000.00 of his own money plus money from the insurance company.  He expanded the mat area, made a viewing area and installed a flat screen TV and LCD timer.  He told me “I made it how I wanted it!”  

You can visit Gigi’s new website to view pictures of the academy remodel!  http://alliancerj.com.br/unidade_leblon.htm#

 I can’t wait to train in the new academy!
