Road to Worlds Vlog: AOJ Has Never Been Stronger

[@anonoumos]

i love this series, hope it is a permanent annual series

[@kevinmcneil1998]

Looks like a great gym, kind of jealous, California has a plethora of amazing gyms to choose from!

[@goldtiger808]

Kids program is fire at AOJ- Hit Squad will be back stronger in 2020. Congrats to Jonatha Alves on getting his Black Belt after his win at Pans. Mad respect for that guy. Tainan Dalpra, Allesandro, Mateous, Liam and Zach will come back harder. Tainan was robbed of the gold- he clearly won that.

[@fluxmuldar]

Are they training in an art museum?

[@smallvillefan7576]

Right? How many Gyms look this pretty?........... This is like every Gym owner's dream

[@viniciusalmeida9754]

Nice series. It's cool to see all these Brazilians spreading BJJ all over the world.

[@angusmurray6578]

I listened to a podcast with the Mendes brothers. Motus V with Nick the tooth. They definitely have a different way of approaching the gym and learning dynamics. I respect it.

[@sittingbull7018]

Dude that gym is pimp as it gets👍

[@fuckbeingbroke2]

Failure is key to success a true champion overcomes more adversity, AOJ damn good mental training classy School !!! 😎😈🤙👍🏼💪🏽

Mendes: do Brasil para o mundo!!

[@RainstormInSpace]

Guys please!!! Clean your lens and camera sensor! There are spots in almost every one of your videos!

[@alessandropintus]

Look closely, the spots move around quite a lot. Probably a last minute filter for the reflections due to all that white around.

yall gotta clean yall lenses

[@brotendo]

It's probably sensor dust and not the lens. Or it's both.

What lineage do the Menes bros. Derive from? Who are their mentors?

[@caglartunca34]

you wash the belt too?

[@MARCOZR1]

caglar tunca yes no need to get everyones skin infected over stupid superstitions. No room for that at one of the best gyms in the US... and yet they are extremely successful And seem to still retain knowledge... crazy.

[@affaefd4093]

good content, but very dirty lens or sensor, it distracts me and doesn't want to watch anymore

[@MrImAlwaysBored]

Please tell me they went to unity

[@lucianoDoni1]

Like from the cleanest place on earth to the....well to Unity

They went last year. This year they have to visit another teams

[@pdMAGaus]

Just a thumb in collar choke or modified Ezekiel

[@bobstar8666]

Its a loop choke

Are all schools in California this nice?

California isn't even this nice

[@김기남-w5h]

Please let me know the biggest / smallest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gym in the world.

[@connerhartman9336]

The biggest is probably atos and there's no way to measure the smallest. There are gyms in alaska that are ran by blue belts that have 3 students. Hard to say.

I would't like to train there, I even felt unconfort watching this

Is it against the rules to wear a coloured gi

[@Rajkodzer]

Gui Mendes saying 5 okays per sentence. I attented a seminar of him but i had forgotten how many okays he says until that video.

[@lucianoDoni1]

The seminar was ok then...

@@lucianoDoni1 with only 1 year of bjj it was 160euros spent on a photo with Gui and Tainan

[@NicoH155]

Institutionalized looking gym and aura, feel like they should be rolling in straight jackets...

[@ronthemogul]

Gorgeous gym but way too crowded yikes

[@matthewg4882]

Not sure if serious or if I just go to a super crowded gym lol

[@SHERMA.]

what a awkward gym

[@josephruiz4163]

yikes no one is high on the mats, too sterile. Apple store...

[@Hazama91350]

I definitely don't like the vibes of this gym, something is wrong there.

[@Prisonmike27]

Agreed I dont feel the karisma with gui as i feel it when rafa is doing the class. Its what i see through my computer, but thats the vibes what i feel right now.

[@goldtiger808]

If you have trained there you will know that Rafa is the fun loving, chill Professor and Gi is a hard hitting, no BS guy. I think history has already proven that you need a little of both. I don't like the white mats though.

[@SlackerBlue]

I've met a few people from this gym. Most of them are a bunch of gate guarding weirdos when it comes to jiu jitsu. Basically, if you don't train with them you're nobody. That's how they think. I'll never set foot in here and that's just based on interactions with their students.

[@Seegie16]

I dont like gyms where the 14 year old kids could physically kick my ass

[@fredericopereira6444]

lol this is what the "results above all" mentality looks like... before they even understand what jiu-jitsu is they know how to score advantages and how to win by an inch... shit's crazy...

[@styrofoamsoldier]

I don't see how the video would show that. All I see is dedicated people training to win, and these guys don't train to win by an advantage.

[@fredericopereira6444]

@@styrofoamsoldier You are right. The thing is that I've been around for a while... I've trained for a while, I've competed in a few international competitions, I've worked for IBFFJ and I know this academy for quite some time. What I said in my comment and my knowledge in this matter doesn't come from a 15minute video from Flograppling.

[@styrofoamsoldier]

@@fredericopereira6444 Fair enough, so if winning is all that matters in the end (for competitive gyms and people anyways), shouldn't we strive for it in all legal manners possible? Furthermore, I don't have first hand experience of AoJ, but I'd reckon none of their competitors "know how to score an advantage before they understand jiu jitsu". Seems kind of hyperbolic don't you think?

[@fredericopereira6444]

@@styrofoamsoldier Well that is the reality tho... that's why I think this is crazy... I also have been seeing quite a few videos posted by referees saying how this "winning at all cost" affects them... all the BJJ powerhouses want is to win, win, win... more students... more fame... more money... it's becoming harder and harder to be just an average practitioner with a 9 to 5 job and a family to take care of... you can already see white belts who are full time athletes with full sponsorship deals and whatnot... I guess that's the evolution of the sport anyway...

[@lucasnascimento7922]

You really have to minimize the amount you share your personal opinions. Awesome content but you dont represent jiujitsu very well, would be cool to see a more diverse team rather then a couple white guys. And maybe a black belt on there? I mean yall wash your belts, thats #1 rule in the book..come on
