by He, like no one else, knows the blows of life well, not only from a physical point of view; but also psychological. David Gistau said of him that “his verb sounds with the firmness of one who has knowledge of the facts.” This is Jero García (Carabanchel, 1970), a human being from the neighborhood who during these years has been Spanish champion in boxing, kick boxing and full contact.
At the moment – although he continues and remains in top shape – he dedicates most of his time to disseminating information – as if he were an older brother – in schools and institutions throughout Spain on how to confront and eradicate bullying. How? Through the Jero García-FAID Foundation.

In boxing I found the five superpowers: perseverance, sacrifice, discipline, motivation and belonging to the group and that is what it tries to convey. Also just published ‘lizard tail‘(Planeta Temas de hoy) a book in which “Cola”, its protagonist, falls many times but always manages to get up to continue fighting.
Aside from his sporting and literary side, Jero continues to take care of himself, but in his own way. He doesn’t start the day with a good breakfast and almost always goes out. “Usually, I have to eat at El Mauricio, a neighborhood bar that is attached to my gym.” His trick for staying in shape? “Do aerobic sport on an empty stomach and do strength sports after eating food. Your favorite dish? “The paella”.
When asked if he cares about his health, he comments, “I’ve already turned the ham, if I don’t take care of myself, we’re in trouble.” Finally, regarding his weak point, he confirms that “after fifteen nose fractures, breathing is not very good, he should have avoided more.”
