-AS first contact with martial arts was Capoeira, at the age of 8. He learned the importance between the master and the student. The discipline and respect. Later he joined a Tae Kwon Do school attracted to the kicks, and later on started trainning Muay Thai.
- He wanted to try at soccer in Corinthians Club but failed to assist on time (claimed had he decided to be a soccer player he will be a major scorer. He plays as a left wing) In that place he began trainning boxing, and his teacher early on spotted him as a natural.
- AS is not southpaw. Vitor Ribeiro, his boxing coach by the time, is responsible for changing drastically his style. He adopted the southpaw stance 'cause he loved it how he could inflict damage with a strong right arm in front (jab).
- He was involved in several street fights. His japanese Tae Kwon Do Master by the time told him not to fight on the street. He stood up to some known and older bully and beat him up with kicks. He was on a major club brawl that looked like those farwest fights that ended on the street. AS and his friends were outnumbered. He held hands with a (girl)friend pretending to be a couple but was found out by the gang and took a fist to the face. He got mad and started fighting and calling all 30 of the guys. Once he looked, there were 6 guys down. But everything has a limit, he stood balls to the wall waiting for the attackers and his military uncle came up firing a shotgun to the air trying to stop the brawl.
- AS worked his ass off at a fastfood, office boy, then went trainning Muay Thai, and later went to school. He hardly eat or sleep, but felt revigorated in the MT class. HE slept during some school classes.
- Anderson by the time trainned Muay Thai with a former Chute Boxe member (the first member to bring an international prize) Claudio Dalledone Jr who left the CB team because he felt monetary betrayed by the owners (Rudimar Fedrigo methinks). ChuteBoxe member would show up in Cobra Kai fashion and destroy their gym, trashed his car, and always challenged him to fight on the streets. Dalledone was straight but he was heavily outnumbered by ChuteBoxe team, and there were no blackbelts to hold the challenge. Another student took charge of the school, but the agressions kept on, and finally they shut down the school.
