I’ve been training at Ludus Actius for the past 4 years. I was aware
that physical activity was good for my health and liveliness, but I always
thought I was too young for that. Then I met coach Diogo Souza and with his
training method he helped me develop new skills, giving more energy every day
and making me a better tennis player.

What changed
Off painkillers after six months
Judo brown belt
A few years ago, I underwent spine surgery and as a result I had some
chronic neurological injuries. The surgery resulted in me being in a lot of
pain. Sometimes I was unable to go up and down the stairs. At one point I was
addicted to painkillers, and that’s when my physiotherapist told me
about coach Diogo Souza. After six months of working with him I was much
better. I no longer use painkillers and I’m back to my normal routine.
Now, I practice Judo, in fact I just received my brown belt. I’m
grateful for Diogo. Thank you, Diogo!

What changed
Eight years of training
Jiu jitsu black belt
What was supposed to be just a joke, became a lifestyle!
In 2011 I hosted Diogo and some other athletes on my radio talk show, to
promote the return of the UFC to Brazil. At that time, I joked around saying
I wouldn’t last 5 minutes in the cage with any one of them. Right away
Diogo told me that if I had the same training experience, time would tell. He
introduced me to the master Everaldo Penco, a very high level BJJ black belt.
Today, after 8 years, I received my BJJ black belt and I feel my life has
changed! Thanks for everything, Diogo!

What changed
Strength and conditioning
Called up to the Brazilian national team
In 2011 I suffered a spine injury in a car accident, resulting in
paraplegia. And just because I was living in a wheelchair it didn’t mean
that life came to a halt. After two years, I was introduced to the Wheelchair
Rugby. I immediately fell in love with it and decided to play it. It felt like
Destiny still had its plans for me. In 2016 I met Diogo during a match for the
2016 Paralympic Games, and soon afterwards he started coaching me. The results
soon came! I improved my strength and overall conditioning. But the biggest
prize was yet to come: soon afterwards I got invited to play for the National
Team! I’ll always cherish this and be forever thankful to Diogo and the
Ludus Actius way of life.
Fifteen to sixty six, in the same room
A student, an accountant, a radio host, and an athlete on a national team.
None of them was sent to a side room to be kept out of the way, and none of them
got a watered down version of the class.
It is the same hour for everybody. What changes is what the coach asks of you
inside it, and he can see the difference happening because every member trains
against their own heart rate.
Same price for everyone, published here, month to month.
Pick the one that fits the week you actually have. The last one is for
children, five to twelve.
