I remember my first time at MAI Raphael Sr walked up to me. I was so nervous I asked him what do I call you thinking sensei or something in Portuguese he smiled and said call me coach. My mom brought me there because I was in a bad spot as a teenager. Raphael SR grappled with me gave me my first gee gloves and a vale tudo t shirt. My first tournament was at MAI I got second of course JR took me out in like 10 seconds but I still have my medals always 2nd place. I just want to say thank you to Raphael jr and sr for letting me train stay at your home I will never forget you guys.

I loved this mini documentary. I was already a huge fan just from watching your rolls. seeing how humble you are and seeing how proud you make your team. I'm truly happy for the success and recognition you are getting and so rightfully deserved.
