Behind the Movement

Andre holds a degree in sports science & physical education. He spent the majority of his life practicing martial arts having competed in both forms, point sparring & full contact divisions internationally. At the same time, he skateboarded, injuring himself doing it, so decided to learn how to surf and initiated a parkour practice. Parkour opened his eyes for a broader, more holistic approach to physicality, dived in many different training perspectives and methodologies initially to prepare hi body for the parkour practice, but ended up falling in love with the process of being curious, learning, applying, failing, cultivating creativity.

Today, he's a husband, a friend, a father of 2 and co-founder of a beautiful movement education platform called Movement Lisboa, with the mission of providing quality education about movement in an inclusive, accessible and HUMAN way
