Black belt João Gabriel Rocha is almost ready to comeback to training.
The Soul Fighters rising star spent the last months battling a testicular cancer diagnosed earlier this year.
This Thursday he put on the gi again to take part in the team’s annual belt ceremony.
On his Facebook account, he wrote about his plans for the weeks to come: “I’m literally running after the time I lost. Next week I begin my detox diet and the week after that one I can go back to training. I can’t wait. The anticipation is killing me.”
