You’re truly never too old to earn your black belt in jiu-jitsu, and Adegard Câmara Florentino (more commonly known as Touro Moreno) is proof of that.

The 82-year-old was promoted to black belt about three weeks ago by Ariane Pereira Guarnier, who won gold at the IBJJF World Master Championship in 2017. Câmara was the first jiu-jitsu practitioner that she promoted to black belt.

The achievement comes fifty years after Câmara earned his brown belt, according to Brazilian news outlet A Gazeta.

In addition to being a jiu-jitsu black belt, Câmara is also a former boxer and vale tudo fighter. He’s the father of Olympic boxing medalists Yamaguchi Falcão Florentino and Esquiva Falcão Florentino.

The accomplished martial artist has a lot to be proud of, and his new black belt was well deserved after all these years.

This is my third gym that I’ve trained at. I wanted to find a gym where I could get more 1-1 time with the head instructor and also where I felt part of the academy.

I knew from the first time speaking with Prof. Nei that I made the right choice. First off, from the minute you meet Nei you feel welcomed. He is smiling, easy to talk to, and genuinely enjoys people. And then you roll with him and you wonder how can this guy be so deadly but also so nice at the same time. Like a big bear. And then you realize that he is just a great professor and a great person.

He spoke about the history of BJJ as a self defense, and the importance of having a strong stand up game. Two things that the other gyms did not focus on. Everyday we practice take downs along with our ground game.

In conclusion, the gym is only as good as the professor and professor Nei is the man. He gives more instruction, direction, and invests more into his students than anyone that I’ve ever met.
