Rafael and Guilherme Mendes are arguably 2 of the best of all time. They've made a huge impact on the sport in both new techniques and accomplishments. Now the students and coaches at AOJ are continuing to build upon what they started. In this video, we cover a lot of the systems that made them and their students so successful.

I enjoyed watching them breakdancing over the Japanese hobbyists who work 70 hours a week and then look after their elderly parents. BJJ truly is the humble sport .

I like them a lot, their jiu-jitsu is so technical and both Rafa and Guilherme always behave professionally. They are incredible masters, their legacy is already impressive and they are so young.

Excellent content. I know ppl hate on the double pull but it’s such an important part of the lighter weights. Would love a breakdown on that one.

I respect their work ethic and focus. I know if I had a twin brother (identical or fraternal), who also liked grappling, we would have been the best somewhere. Local competition, regional events, worlds and at worst our local gym.
