This weekend, I won my 6th and possibly last no gi world championship. Although it was great to win it was even greater to sit mat side coaching and being there for my students through their wins and loses. It became apparent that that is where I want to be.

Jiu Jitsu changes people, and although medals are great to hang at the academy, changing a life, being part of some one else's journey is so much more rewarding. I am excited about our teams future and about all the new students I will meet with my online training! I hope you let me be part of your journey and thank you for being a part of mine!

I dont' blame him man. I'm sure he'll still be down for super fights, but I can totally understand where he's coming from. Good for him.

Caio Terra is one of my favorite grapplers of all-time! ONE Nogi World Championship is an amazing accomplishment.... 6 puts you in LEGEND status. I hope he has an awesome retirement and his school/schools do very well.

Whoa! What an incredible career! Congrats Caio terra. Amazing accomplishments and I am sure his accomplishments to come will be nothing less.

:(

Terra is a straight monster on the mats. This is probably the best time for him to step away. He's got some amazing guys both coming up and making a name for themselves right now - Samir Chantre, Moizinho, his brown belt who fought in the last copa podio, etc. Looks like he's doing a full merger with Brasa too. He won the worlds and trumped Malfacine this year in gi, and took home his 6th nogi world title. Way to go out on top :)
