He received his black belt in November 2016, and his first degree in November 2019 from Professor Eddie and Adem Redzovic.

Having learned the art from his master Adem Redzovic, Alejandre also provides classes as he has been a BJJ veteran since he was 19. The Redzovics’ BJJ lineage traces back to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s famed and primary developer, Grandmaster Carlos Gracie Sr.
