Yesterday, Professor Fabio left my gym because he had a greater opportunity somewhere else. My coach Professor Fabio and i only have trained for a year. Yesterday, our gym had a farewell for him. we gave him presents and shared special moments because he will be leaving Singapore.
Professor Fabio was a national team coach. When he taught our class , he showed us things that were taught by the national team athletes for example a cartwheel or a backflip. He also taught us other things like double legs , ankle picks and guard. He gave us a lot of time to free roll to. which was one of my favourite things to do in class because i loved to fight with others.
Professor Fabio was also on CNA the other day. When i had a competition he would tell me what i should do to my opponent for example “double leg” or “pull guard , then triangle”. When i followed his instructions it worked then i defeated my opponent. This was one of his helpful feedbacks. But then when i lost a match he told me that i will learn from my mistakes so i could improve. And when i didn’t understand what he was explaining in class i will ask him how to do the technique or move then i will be able to do it.
I hope I can see you again, Professor Fabio. “It’s not just goodbye, but a ‘see you later’ in the journey of life.” I hope I will become stronger and bigger when I see you again.
Thank you so much my dear student and friend Alvaro, it was a pleasure to teach you during this time, I was always impressed on how concentrated you are and also because you never give up.
Keep moving on and I hope to see you again a day champion ❤️🥹🙏🏾🥋
