In 1996, Bruno started to train the Jiu-Jitsu with his uncle Ricardo Carvalho, that opened the Edson Carvalho Academy in homage to his brother Edson Carvalho, that currently gives Jiu-Jitsu lessons in New Jersey (U.S.A.). Currently he dedicate the two martial arts cited above, where he is a black belt in both, competing in the two modalities and also compete in Submission and MMA.
