Minotauro first watched an IDF instructor train soldiers in the art of Krav Maga. Later, he joined the training and learned Krav Maga with all of the soldiers.
"The Krav Maga is a lovely form of martial arts, very fast, you can use it in your daily life for self-defense," explained the UFC champion. "Martial arts serve not only to protect yourself. Those who practice martial arts are more confident and calm. It can change your attitude and teaches you to respect. It is very useful for your life."
"It's a nice country with good people. The treatment has been very good and I have felt welcomed since we arrived," said Nogueira after finishing the training. "I was very curious about the martial arts and since we arrived, we saw not only Krav Maga, but also a nice country, beach, and very calm and friendly people.”
