Budo Jake and crew stop by the Art of Jiu Jitsu to chat with our good friends, Rafa and Gui Mendes to talk about their school, BJJ and their upcoming superfights.
On Feb 07th & 08th, The Mendes brothers, Rafael and Guilherme will be fighting GI & NOGI no time limit Superfights in Chechnya. They will also be conducting Jiu-Jitsu seminars there.
Rafael Mendes will be facing Osvaldo Queixinho and Guilherme Mendes will face Samir Chantre.
This is not the first time that foreign BJJ black belts have gone to Chechnya (part of Russia). Felipe Costa was recently in Grozny (capital city) with his student Chechen BJJ black belt Arbi Muradov. Be sure to also check out our interview with Ramil Mammadov to follow the growth of Jiu-Jitsu in the Caucasus.
