It has been an extremely busy week with the brothers being on Guam. That coupled with the fact that I had Gui and Rafa using my laptop I was not able to post on a real time basis. If Gui doesnt have internet access he starts to get antsy! The technique that they displayed was [...]

The seminar was awesome to say the least. Guilherme and Rafael are two of the nicest guys ever. They are full of energy and willingness to teach. It is very apparent that they are very mature in their game and ways of teaching. I’ve learned quite a lot about their system of passing the guard [...]

Well thats the last of it. Pulled this out 3 days ago and things are a lot better. Rest, ice, compression, prednisone and feldene and more rest helped to fix this fast. I’m lucky that I dont need a operation to remove the bursa. Gonna keep a elbow brace on when I roll just in [...]
