Grão Mestre Alzemiro de Carvalho since childhood believed in being an instructor and practitioner of martial arts. In Sapucaia do Sul, the city where he arrived from Santa Cruz do Sul at the age of seven, he used to practice in nature together with an instructor. Years passed and he managed to enter an academy in Porto Alegre where he met a Korean master and his children, all Taekwondo practitioners. For years he lived between school studies, work and almost daily Taekwondo training, when then, his childhood dream began to come true when he graduated Taekwondo black belt in 1983, thus began a great story.

When Mestre China graduated, his teacher recommended that he go to Bento Gonçalves to work and have his own academy. In 1984, his first academy was opened, he remained there in Rio Grande do Sul, teaching Taekwondo, also in Carlos Barbosa and Garibaldi, for three and a half years. He returned to São Leopoldo at the invitation of the owner of the Garra academy, which unfortunately no longer exists.

Mestre China taught for ten years in this academy, when he graduated as a Master in Taekwondo. He then decided to have his own academy again, thus the well-known Academia Carvalho was born. We have been at Avenida Dom João Becker 570 for almost thirteen years, in the center of São Leopoldo, in a very privileged location in front of Praça do Imigrante, between the bus station and the municipal sports gymnasium and neighbors to the city council.

Mestre China works there together with his wife and children, all trained as black belts in Taekwondo, affiliated to the Gaucho Taekwondo Federation, confederated to the Brazilian Taekwondo Confederation and recognized by KUKKIWON – World Taekwondo Federation based in Seoul, South Korea. Currently Mestre China is vice-president of the Gaucho Federation of Taekwondo, Bachelor of Physical Education (Ulbra) Canoas and is accredited by the Regional Council of Physical Education (CREF).

He and his family love what they teach, believe in their work and are evangelical people who have great faith in God Jehovah and so are available to all people regardless of race, color, age to know the work of Academia Carvalho and its professionals.

We also have Hapkido, martial art and self defense, and Muay Thai, Thai boxing. Carvalho Martial Arts is being inaugurated in Sapucaia do Sul, led by the son of Mestre China, Luiz Felipe Silva de Carvalho, black belt 6th Dan in Taekwondo, 4th Dan in Hapkido and 12th Khan in Muay Thai. Now then the city where the boy dreamed of being a martial arts instructor has another Carvalho Academy led by his son and supervised by him.

Every dream can be real with faith, discipline and perseverance. This story is real and can be proven.
