    Samuel Braga swung through our school a couple months ago, I felt like he was just playing around and just dominated me. It was as if he wasn't even trying but he was on my back, sweeping me, submitting me.

    Rafa Mendes would be #1. Gui was especially unpleasant to roll with. Just suffocating pressure and won't let you do anything. Rafa did more ninja shit and could be equally crushing, but he'd let you work stuff only to vanish right as you thought you were coming close and reappear on your back. People say it a lot in exaggeration but there were honestly a few things he did to get on my back where I didn't know what he did. I rolled nogi and gi with Rafa for about 20 minutes each time and it was the worst I've ever been beat up.

    Honorable mentions go to Jeff Glover, Ryan Hall, Sean Roberts, Murilo Santana, Gui Mendes, and Dave Camarillo.

    Man I don't even know who the dude was. I've yet to see him again. If I ever do, though, I'm gonna shake his hand.

    by shake his hand do you mean, in order to grab two on one arm control and get back control and choke him out? or ronda rousey handshake? or an actual handshake?

    +1 haha

    But you gotta love rolling with high level dudes! Best way to get better

    Thats whats so cool ablut jiu jitsu, in my opinion. Anyone who has been training for a while got their asses absolutely smoked for the first couple months, maybe more. It takes a special type of person to keep comming back. Jiu jitsu humbles you like nothing else, and if you can take it, it shows you that you can accomplish anything if you just put in the time and enjoy the journey.

    My regular instructor (Stew) destroys me on a regular basis.
    One time we went to Sudbury for a seminar with Stews instructor, the Monkey (Professor Richard Nancoo), and a longtime friend and training partner of Monkeys, Professor Marco Costa. They are both blackbelts with degrees under Sylvio Behring. (Two of the original first five BJJ BB's in Canada if I am not mistaken.)

    That day I was destroyed worse than I have ever been. It was very very VERY humbling, to be completely powerless. I mean yeah I'm a whitebelt and I get destroyed on a regular basis, but my survival percentages are always improving. ...not that day.

    I would have to say the list is too long for me to post here. We all know that master Eddie goes without saying. His. Clinch is death and he created what I am trying to do to him. Overall just like he is in my head the whole time.

    I was in sf a couple months ago, and got pretty much what I expected out of Denny. I think we went five fives in a row. Let's just say I hope the video never sees daylight. Lol. If you ever get the chance to see Denny interact with his students you should jump on it. I was forever changed as an instructor from watching him teach and handle a class. Physically got beat and mentally changed forever.
