01 — The story
David Dimopoulos Said was born in 1983 in Fortaleza, Brazil. In 1995, at age 12, he started practising Brazilian jiu-jitsu and fell in love with the gentle art. He has not left the mats since.
In 2010, by then living in Athens, he was promoted to black belt under professors Fernando “Soluço” Di Pierro and Fábio Gurgel. He is one of the pioneers of the sport in Greece, an active competitor, and the holder of multiple national and international titles.
In 2016 he founded Rock Sports Club, built with the support of his wife and children. That is why the club treats every student who walks through the door as part of the same family — whether the goal is a world podium or a first class after work.
