Born in 1978, Gabriel de Moraes Neto hails from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He is now a martial arts coach based in Nanning, South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

Inspired by Bruce Lee's kung fu at a young age, Gabriel developed an interest in Chinese martial arts and began to receive systematic training in 1999.

As his understanding of martial arts and traditional Chinese culture deepened, he named himself "Mo Xiaolong", after Bruce Lee's Chinese name "Li Xiaolong".

In 2008, Gabriel came to the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine as an exchange student to study acupuncture while practicing martial arts. To him, both kung fu and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) display the charm of Chinese culture.
