Master Diderot Junior, world-renowned for his pressure-based and constricting game, played a fundamental role in shaping Rodrigo’s technical development and competitive mindset. Through years of dedication, discipline, and consistent success in major tournaments, Rodrigo was awarded his black belt in 2015 by Master Diderot Junior.
