note
Champion of the World Military
Games, Diogo won the bronze
medal at the Baku Pre-Olympic
Tournament in Azerbaijan in July,
2011. A great fan of Bruce Lee,
Jean Claude Van Damme and
Jackie Chan, he started to take
taekwondo lessons in order to
fight just like them. Today, he
realizes that there is a lot of
choreography and little fight on
their shows. He prefers to use his
free time practicing parachuting
and bungee jumps, tree-climbing
and surfing.
