Let's make this birthday one to remember.

58 years old (Born on September 28, 1966)

Happy Birthday to Mario Sperry, the legendary "Zen Machine"! Another year older and still tougher than a heavyweight chokehold. Your opponents might age gracefully, but you just keep aging fiercely—proving that black belts don't fade; they level up!

From dominating mats worldwide as a 5th-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu master to inspiring countless students with your calm yet unstoppable style, you've shown us all how true Zen warriors roll (literally!). May this birthday bring laughter louder than your best takedown slam and joy smoother than your slickest submission.

Keep rolling strong, Mario—we can't wait for more epic moments ahead!
