When the Pan Ams come to Southern California once a year, everyone at Global Jiu Jitsu Academy get s really excited. About a week before the tournament begins, GFTeam world champions start rolling in to train with us.
Our master, Professor Marcelo Carvalho is cousins with the Master of the GFTeam, Julio Cesar Pereira. How lucky is that? When the team visits, the dojo is packed wall to wall with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts with Master Pereira teaching. We get to roll with Rodolfo Vieira, Theodoro Canal, Igor Santos, Wancler Oliveira, Vanessa Oliveira, Ricardo Evangelista and Denilson Pimenta just to name a few.
I came in one morning on an off day and ended up getting to roll with about a dozen black belts all to myself!
