Testimonials

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 Ludus Actius and with its training method Ludus helped me develop new skills, giving more energy everyday and making me a better tennis player.

A couple of years ago, I had a spine surgery which caused me some chronic neurological disorders. At one point I´ve got addicted to painkillers. After six months working out with Ludus, I’ve got much better. I no longer use painkillers and I´m back to my normal life.

In 2011, I invited Diogo and other athletes to my talkshow to promote the return of UFC to Brasil. As a joke, I've said it'd be a struggle for me being trapped by some of them, then Diogo replied me that all I needed was some training and time. Now, my life has changed and I'm very grateful for his previous advice.

Fabiano Melo, 35 - Radio host – BJJ Black Belt and Diogo’s friend

In 2011 I suffered a spine injury in a car crash resulting in paraplegia. Even though I've got confined to a weelchair, I felt like there was a destiny to fulfill. Then, in 2016 I met Diogo in the Paralympic Games and started training with him. However, the results came soon. I've improved strength and conditioning and afterwards, the best prize was about to come, I've been invited to play for the National Team.
