About me

Who is Samuel Tigre?

I am a physical educator who graduated from the Brazilian Air Force Sports Commission (CDA), with postgraduate studies in exercise physiology, child motor development, sports nutrition and hormonology. I also hold a degree in Gastronomy.

I served in the Brazilian Air Force, worked as a physical test examiner for the Army, the Air Force and the police for four years, and was a self-defense and shooting instructor for the Army and the police. I also served for one year in the UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), with the Brazilian Armed Forces.

I have owned a gym for over ten years. I created the Calistenia do Zero method, I coach acrobatic and professional-level athletes, and I have taught abroad, in English and in Italian.
