Rafa Mendes match from this weekend (gi or no-gi you must watch)

[Mike Nall]

Here's some good examples of Rafa hitting armbars and wristlocks from the back control against Purple belt No-Gi World champ Darson Hemmings.

[Scott Philips]

I almost rolled Geoffrey at NAGA one time. I finished the blue gi and was at the bracket table trying to talk my way into the purple belt division and they said if I put on a brown belt I could roll him cause no other browns were in his division. I was opposed to wearing a brown and wanted to roll in my own belt so they just let me go purple because he didn't want to roll someone wearing a blue apparently. He is SUPER legit though, ridiculous. One hand or not.

This was at the SF open

He won at the Houston open a couple weeks ago also

Man I missed all kinds of people competing this year at SF, sucks I gotta get off my ass.

The Mendes Bros have a good arsenal of 10p, although you'll never see em pull RG or Lockdown.
They respect 10p for sure though. Twister side control to the twister roll, who's your daddy control to the back, spider web, back control to a variation of the swim move. All stuff they've taught before, but without the names. But like 10p, they aren't afraid to digest and utilize any technique. Mad respect!

Dude is that you in the picture? If so then I have two things to say:

1. Awesome roll with Rafa. It was awesome to watch.

2. During the no-gi leg drag q&a we were making the same faces, haha.

Hope you had fun out there man!

Mike were you there the other day brotha? If so, I'm trying to figure out if I know you by face, just never met you yet?

yes, it's me.. on thursday, I got my arm detached by Rafa. but, it's the price to pay.

Nah man I never met you. I've trained there before, but I'm not a student there. I'm on their online site though. I don't know if you saw the video they put up with Rafa answering questions about the leg drag after a no-gi class, but I was just tripping off the faces that you were making in the background. They had some comments open, and pretty much everyone was like "my jaw was dropping just like that brown belt in the back." He was dropping so much knowledge on there.

I wish he'd make one for the anaconda choke. He's a killer with that shit. I paid the anaconda no neverminds until Rafa wrecked shop at ADCC with it.

LOL! I am in constant amazement for sure.. I tried clicking on the link, but I'm not a member.. Maybe one day I'll own up to that price tag.. For now I'll just have to consume in real time.

Once in a while, they'll have a camera out to record techniques, but I guess sometimes I don't realize I'm being recorded, so the faces, the videos where I'm getting smashed, the pics, I'll probably never get to witness. Bummer.

I'm surprised they don't have the Anaconda choke vids up there.. He does show some nice stuff. I've been to some of their seminars where they would go over some of this as well.
