Today we’d like to introduce you to Daniel Pinheiro.
Hi Daniel, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I’m from Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, and I started training BJJ when I was 11 years old. At 16, my brother started a small school in the garage of my mom’s house. We were 16 years old. Then, when I turned 32, I could come to America and work with BJJ. This has always been our dream. I started working with my brother; we worked together for 2 and a half years, and then we decided I should have my gym. I am very appreciative of the chance and all the knowledge that I learned from him. I opened Team Shark/Daniel Pinheiro BJJ. I love the grind of making the gym happen the way it is; the whole process is still a unique and fun experience, and I strive to continue learning and growing the business as much as I can; the gym is baby, and I work very hard to keep providing an enjoyable, safe, well-done services for our “members da familia.” I love to support my community as my community supports us; the respect, harmony, and camaraderie are amazing, and we are here to help. The efforts and commitment displayed by our members are things that we would love to continue doing. I am very proud of all the hard work, blood, sweat, and cheers that I drop down building our community; seeing everyone on the same page and trying to improve the lifestyle through discipline, effort, commitment, and love is very satisfying. Team Shark BJJ is a Family. It can even be very clever to say all the time, but it is our reality.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road is smooth, sometimes, and rough as well. But we don’t care about the obstacles; we would love to fight and conquer any of these things that can try to make us stop. We felt the difference between cultures but nothing that we could not adjust. We are alive to conquer difficulties and hardships to become successful. We love the hardship because we truly believe that is the only way to succeed. Keeping my mind open for adjustments has helped me a lot in getting used to this. I love to learn and balance out everything in my life.

We’d love to hear about what you think about risk-taking.
When I came to America, I left my girlfriend pregnant for 5 months; at this time, it was my main risk. But we have a dream to conquer, and I could not stay with the mother of my first son Lucas, but we are raising a wonderful child, which is what matters. The risks after I got here are part of the process; we dove into that, knowing that many obstacles could appear in our way.
