About Me

• Social handles: @brunolokooficial, @relicrias, @batalhadalajerj
• Sport/Activity: Breaking (Break Dancing)

I am Bruno José Rodrigues, known as Bruno Loko in the Breaking scene. I've been a Breaker since 2005 and have competed in numerous national and international competitions. I'm also a hip-hop event producer in Rio de Janeiro, organizing events like Batalha da Laje and Relicrias Jam.

My competitive achievements include:

• Red Bull BC One Qualifier (top 8, Rio de Janeiro, 2024)
• King of What (1st place, Rio de Janeiro, 2023)
• Breaking Combate (top 8, São Paulo, 2023)
• FDL JAM (1st place, Argentina, 2017)
• World Bboy Classic (top 8, São Paulo, 2017)

As an event producer, I've organized:

• Batalha da Laje (4 editions since 2022)
• Relicrias Jam (since 2023)
• Open Practice Breaking with RedBull (2024)
• Collaborations with international artists like DJ FLEG (USA)

Community Connection

Breaking naturally embodies Nounish values. The culture promotes sharing knowledge without expectation of return and respects differences - core values that align perfectly with Nounish principles.

I already have an established partnership with NounsBreak, which supported the last edition of Batalha da Laje. This collaboration brought Nounish visibility to the Breaking world, with influential judges and participants wearing Noggles during the event.

The judges wearing Noggles included international Breaking stars like Bboy Perninha (a para-athlete), Bboy Sunni (RedBull All Stars UK), Bgirl Vanessa (RedBull Portugal), and Bgirl Toquinha (the only Brazilian Bgirl to reach the RedBull BC One semifinals).

Impact Vision

My project aims to create the "Espaço de Desenvolvimento Artístico Relicrias" - a training center for Breaking athletes and other art forms in Rio de Janeiro. This space will:

1. Provide a dedicated training facility for young Breaking athletes
2. Host regular workshops with international Bboys and Bgirls
3. Form a team of athletes supported by the project to compete internationally
4. Use Batalha da Laje as a platform to showcase the team and promote Nounish values

The impact will be measured through:

• The performance of our athletes in competitions
• The growth of the Breaking community in Rio
• The visibility of Nounish branding in Breaking events
• The development of young talent from underserved communities

Documentation Plan

I will document the project's journey through:

1. Regular updates on social media (@brunolokooficial, @relicrias, @batalhadalajerj)
2. Video content of training sessions and workshops
3. Coverage of our team's participation in competitions
4. Documentation of Batalha da Laje and other events
5. Testimonials from participating athletes and international guests

The most powerful demonstration of impact will be sending our team to competitions worldwide, showing the real results of our training space and representing Nounish values on an international stage.
