It was cool to meet my BJJ idols, Guiherme Mendes and Rafael Mendes. A few weekends ago they came to Houston to teach a seminar... which went over 3 hours long. There was a lot more discussion than actual jiu-jitsu but you really got to know their mindset about the art.

Of all the known BJJ practitioners, I gravitate towards their style of jiu-jitsu and try to replicate their techniques into my own game. Below are highlights of the Mendes brothers.
