  Confirmed

  Galrinho states in his 2000 interview that he began aikido in 1977 in Setúbal and soon attended Stobbaerts' classes in Cascais and Alcântara; the FPA history confirms he was a student of Stobbaerts.

  The evidence establishes the claim: it is sufficient and consistent, and any conflicting evidence is resolved.
