My stay in Rio before during and after M3

awesome you're traveling and getting to train in jiu jitsu while doing so. sippin the cream, livin' the dream.

the guys from rio are much more humble and accepting than the brazilians in the states. thats for sure.

Awesome. I don't have any Brazil experience, but that is huge progress compared to the reactions I have gotten over the years in the States.
