Andre Terencio was born on the 20th of of December 1977 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He started training in the beginning of the 1990’s in “Academia Santana” when Andre was only 13years old, because he was an obese child with lack of self confidence.
André Negão’s first and only instructor was Carlos Henrique, one of the best coaches there was in Brazil at the time, and the man who graded him from white to black belt.
Today, André is a great Jiu Jitsu personality and one of the best coaches in BJJ today, having graduated great champions like Hannette Staack. Negao is also one of the founding members of the Brazil 021 team. A team with affiliates all over the world, including the two strongest “BJJ countries”, the United States and Brazil.
Hannette Staack was born on the 7th of February 1979, in São Luís do Maranhão, in the northern Brazil territory, though she moved to Rio de Janeiro when she was two years old. Hannette began her jiu-jitsu training when she was 18 years old with “Professor” Fernando Cruz and Master Flavio Figueiredo.
Soon after Hannette received her purple belt, Fernando Cruz gave up on his BJJ teaching career, it was then that Master Flavio introduced Staack to her next (and current) instructor, Andre “Negão” Terencio.
Today, Hannette Staack one of the most accomplished grapplers in the history of the female Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt division, a rank she earned from Andre Terêncio. Aside from her vast competitive resume, Staack is also one of the founding members of the Brazil 021 Team.
