Heralded/as proficient as he is dangerous
Hi
Renzo Gracie is one of the most heralded members of the Gracie family—and for good reason. A sixth degree black belt in BJJ, Gracie is as proficient as he is dangerous.
1. What does "heralded" mean here? Can you give me synonim?
2. Does the part "as proficient as he is dangerous" mean that he is both skillful and dangerous?
