Instructor
Luis ‘Limão’ HermediaLuis Herédia grew up in the famous ‘Zona Sul’ of Rio de Janeiro, more specifically in the Copa Cabana area. He started practicing martial arts at the age of 13 through Tae Kwon Do with Master Rodney in a gym very near his house. In the area most of his close friends trained martial arts, ranging from TKD, Karate, Judo and of course Gracie Jiu Jitsu. When there were street fights between the kids, the Jiu Jitsu boys would always come out the victors, for that reason, when Luis was 15 he chose to give Jiu Jitsu a try.

Luis ‘Limão’ Heredia
Luis earned his nickname of Limão (translates to lemon) when he was about 16 years old. He lived in Copacabana, one of the more famous areas in Rio de Janeiro at the time, and he had a close group of friends with whom he usually hanged with, at the famous ‘Miguel Lemos’ street. It was one of those friends who would give him the nickname, after he saw Luis kiss a girl, the girl being kissed (allegedly) made a screw up face, like she had just tasted a lemon, this is what gave Heredia the name.
