World Champion Jose Hermoza is interviewed by American TV

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 24 Nov 2012 18:40:00 +0000

The Brazilian Top Team, Jose Hermoza is still collecting good things from his recent victories in the Jiu-Jitsu World Championship and The Pan American Championship.

Hermoza was interviewed in New Jersey by "La Revista Semanal TV" a show that is transmitted in 36 states of the USA, every Sunday at 12:30 pm at the Cosmovision TV.

In the interview, "El President", as he is called here by the friends at BTT, tell us of his beginning in the Martial arts, starting in the martial arts, the impact the jiu-jitsu had on him after watching the UFC 1, his training routine, about his diet based in proteins and no alcoholic beverage, how he was dedicated to the training.

The Peruvian Jose Hermoza tells in the interview how was his path to his recent wins in the Light-Feather weight division and the third place in the Absolute in the No-Gi World Championship in Long Beach, California, winning his first two qualified fights against opponents twice his weight.

To finish he leaves a great message that you do not need an age limit to start practicing Jiu-jitsu, if you are young or start a little late in life as he himself did. The sport shows that any goal you want in life you can reach it, especially with discipline and saying no to drugs.

He talks about his path to the future with his coaches professors Daniel Gazoni and Joao Amaral, the possibility to be a graduate and what will be needed from him, more determination and discipline to face opponents from a higher level and experience.
