The last few days here in Brazil have been nothing short of extraordinary.
We spent three days on the mats surrounded by legends, people who have been training Jiu-Jitsu longer than some of us have been alive. The knowledge shared was incredible, but what stood out even more was the energy in the room. Seeing lifelong friendships, respect, and camaraderie between BTT black belts from all over the world, along with their students, is something that’s hard to put into words.
Unless you’ve experienced it, it’s difficult to explain just how special it is to be part of something like this.
One of the highlights of the week was celebrating Master Murilo’s 60th birthday. We got to spend the day training with him on the mats and then celebrate together in the ocean surfing afterward. It was truly an unforgettable day.
This is the first of several photo posts from our trip—sharing not only the Jiu-Jitsu, but the friendships, adventures, and memories we made together in Brazil. 🇧🇷🙌🏾
