Great Coach ,Great Competitor ,True Martial Artist . RAFA is very detail oriented and super intelligent ; Anything else beside jiujitsu he was doing , he would be in FIRST place .

What a great interview! Rafa is one of my all-time favorite grapplers, he's so smooth and technical and now it seems like he is a down to earth person too with great character.

Rafa Mendes is the greatest of all time BJJ competitor and the greatest of all time BJJ competitor to market themselves. Absolutely incredible human being.

That was mental! I loved his approach to focus on speed, timing and improving his technics, instead of lifting weights, which looks to be the best approach for his weight division, and if you don't plan to fight open weight ("absoluto"). Congrats to their coach, Raul, who made them for sure UNIQUE ones! Who on Earth wouldn't love to see them competing some super fights?!

Good interview!!!! Please make one with Guillerme Mendes.👍🏾

Great talk, great words, great lessons!

Rafa Mendes Monstro!!! Nosso grade guerreiro e o verdadeiro representante brasileiro. O cara é muito foda!!! Dale Bruxo!!!!

O aspecto psicológico faz toda a diferença para formar e manter um campeão! Parabéns Rafael!

Hello from Brazil!!! I'm a big fan of this guy Rafael Mendes! He is incredible when he is fighting, it's awesome to view!!! Congratulations, brother!!! Hugs from Pernambuco. Oss

Muito bom ouvir Rafael Mendes falando. É um grande exemplo de atleta, além de saber passar a sua visão de mundo e negócios. Grande entrevista.

Great interview with substantial questions

What a legend

An amazing interview !

great video! thanks

Thank you for the video. What your interviewee is saying, about taking breaks, can help me in my education as well. I know, whenever I get done with the semester, I can physically feel it. Of course, the coursework is all online. However, it does take a lot out of me, because I wanna do well, and do well in a timely fashion. Assignments are due weekly, and big ones, like research papers, or also do. I spend over an hour doing homework every night, at least every day somehow. I need to slow down, and take a break every once in a while, which I do. But I also remember the assignment and it’s due date. That gets me a little stressed out, because I have missed assignments and missed points for doing so. Each time an assignment is late, it’s a 10% deduction every day. Once again, thank you for sharing this.

this is gonna be good!

Great interview 👏🏻👏🏻

Rafa you're a true Champion.Go for number 7 baby

A forma q ele pronuncia a palavra jiu-jitsu, e a mais br possível.

Legend

Idlove to see him vs caiio terra I think is the best match for him and his brother.

Someone make a Mendes brothers documentary

Brazilian pride!

Mendes, sei que pode ser algo trabalhoso mas acredito que já está na hora de trabalhar com legendas no vídeos, assim vocês teriam mais visualizações, seu público seria maior pois o vídeo alcançaria o Brasil onde vocês tem milhares e milhares de fãs. A maioria aqui não sabe falar inglês. Crítica construtiva, na verdade é mais uma dica.

I love my gym but would really like to train at AOJ

please write a book! thanks

Podia ter legenda! rs Rafa o melhor 👊💪

Podiam colocar umas legendas pra gente acompanhar melhor o conteúdo em inglês. Adimiro muito o trabalhos dos Mendes mas o inglês ainda precisa melhorar um pouco.

Marcelo says the same thing he don’t lift weights or anything like that bc he feels like it’s a waste of time when he can be doing more jiujitsu

legenda kd

"dont lose to that favella kid"

How did he go that many years and that hard without getting cauliflower ears? I've never seen him training with ear guards.

> Doing Jiujitsu and perfecting the technic instead of going for body strenght He says in the interview he only stopped the strength work becasue he's strong enough for his division now, after years and years of strength and conditioning. If you think being strong is not important for grappling, you are mistaken.

does rafa have a heat rash on his neck lol

This is for Mr. Mendez: do you have any people with disabilities that you were training right now? The type of disability I’m thinking of, is those people who are blind or visually impaired. Also, are the world championships after the nationals?

Apparently the one who got Rafaels position because Rafael got sick, is not the centerpiece of Gods plan

All this time i thought Rafa is older than Gui . . . .. . . .

Sounds like marcelo garcia. If you wanna get good go train more jiu jitsu

Getting punched in the face for your whole life will do that... also he's 40 so he's not a spring chicken any more.

he´s great no doubt about it, flawless technique, inovative approach. but he's not the greatest. in modern jiu jitsu there is one name, and one name only. Roger gracie. its really sad that people forget that. he may be retired but hes the best still

Legenda em português... please
