My name is Luiz Fabiano, known in the Jiu-Jitsu world as Fabiano Papel.
I started my Jiu-Jitsu journey at 16 and had to stop training at 18 due to other obligations, spending approximately 10 years away from the mats.
Diagnosed with depression, I was soon advised by doctors to engage in physical activity. Since I hated working out and was not fit to play football, I decided to start training Jiu-Jitsu again.
