In 2008, I took a trip to the city of São Paulo to put my kimono game to the test for a couple weeks. For the one's reading this CHALLENGE YOURSELF.
I trained everyday for weeks in the competition class at Alliance SP. They were excellent at making points for competition, but lacked submission skills. I trained there for a couple weeks diligent and only tapped one time. Need to tap more to get better. I trained with the best guys, and so many matches played out the same. I would be down on points for so many minutes then score a TERROR-LOCK or CHIMA-LOCK. Both masterpiece moves of my creation. Both proved successful over and over again, versus top-level competition.
The competition team knew who I was. They all knew I choked out their golden boy Marcelo Garcia in the finals of the Brazilian Championship. For that reason, they all came at me to win. I had no choice but to use my tools. Gurgel's second in command saw me unleashed. He avoided me, smart guy. I was lining him up for doom.

I must've trained with 30-40 black belts at Alliance SP, and the best guy was a brown belt at the time Leo Nogueira. It was a real pleasure training with him. He gave me hell in the kimono, and I loved it! I remember my last day being busted up from all the hard training. I almost didn't train, but ultimately I masked my injuries with heat and went after him that final day. He was all over me those days in the kimono, but the last was a No-Gi day. I was man on a mission. Helluva fight! CHIMA-LOCK Respect earned

Lesson: You are as good as the people you study and train with. Choose wisely. It's a choice.
Where and with whom you train with is one of the most important decisions you'll make. It's a conscious choice. Be smart!

Быть знаменитым некрасиво.
Не это подымает ввысь.
Не надо заводить архива,
Над рукописями трястись.
Цель творчества самоотдача,
А не шумиха, не успех.
Позорно ничего не знача,
Быть притчей на устах у всех.
— Борис Пастернак, Сестра моя — жизнь
