Julio Tupa Ribas

Health and sports professional with 5 years of experience as a Surf instructor, as well as teaching Boxing and Jiu-Jitsu. My career is driven by versatility and a deep commitment to human development. I have extensive experience adapting teaching methods for students of all ages—from children to seniors—ensuring a safe, dynamic, and effective learning experience. I strongly believe in sports as an essential tool for social inclusion and well-being, where everyone can find their own space to grow mentally and physically.
