Master Alexandre Carvalho has a life linked to Martial Arts and built in Vila Nova de Famalicão a school which has trained thousands of children and young people and has given the municipality hundreds of medals, including gold, silver and bronze, won in national and international championships of martial arts. From here resulted the Alex-Ryu-Jitsu Association and Federation, whose history is now kept in a space of memories where it all began, the former training room of the Association, in the house of the founder, in the parish of Antas. It is a private museum, where it is possible to observe the evolution of the sport and the hundreds of regional, national and international trophies won over its more than 45 years of history.
The Mayor joined the inauguration of the space, recognizing "the important contribution that the project gives through its academies in the sports and human training of many young famalicenses".
"One of the most important aspects of this space of memory is precisely the will and ability to make sport grow, the value of martial arts and to give them back to society in this new House", says master Alexandre Carvalho.
