he’s the real embodiment of martial arts. dedicated his life to the craft, and for all the right reasons. doesn’t seek money, fame or glory, but he uses his martial art for good, to better himself and his community.
Great content Kurt really enjoyed this episode Igor is such a cool dude thanks for this BJJ insight the interview with master professor was dope also the waterfall, beach and the favela scenes were awesome keep it up bro goodluck Igor on your black belt journey shoutout from Australia.
Try it bro, you can ride the highest speed train for the first time in Southeast Asia. The highest speed is 350 kilometers per hour, the Indonesian fast train Jakarta - Bandung, the newest, most sophisticated in Southeast Asia, the first,.the way to the beautiful and comfortable and beautiful and cool and cool city of Bandung, thank you sis and bro..*,$
In Brazil, they don’t call it Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It’s just called jiu-jitsu. With that said, the jiu-jitsu that I refer to in this video, is from Brazil. Don’t split too many hairs, or you might go bald.
Kurt you are the real deal hermano. Your willingness to learn about other cultures is so authentic, this is why I believe you have the best content on RUclips.
Igor is a good man, he took the unfortunate things from his upbringing in the favela to become a positive person who lives a life with the main goal to inspire the youth in Brazil.
For what it’s worth, I hardly ever interact (comment, like, etc.) with social media or RUclips. However, this video was probably one of my favorites of yours if not my favorite. This video did a great job of demonstrating the good parts of life there whilst also talking about the unfortunate things that occur there. I’d love to see you have Igor on more, he seems very genuine and you guys seem to get along very well. I hope you’re doing great Kurt, keep on living brotha!
It’s crazy how you find these amazing people and become like a family member in a day or two. I barely even know my next door neighbors. Best video so far!
I feel like it comes down to the fact that in other parts of the world where people don’t have much, they’re a lot more authentic, and not afraid of judgement. So many people let their ego and prejudices get in the way of opening up to people. I love this video because it’s almost like when you’re children and you literally would meet someone and within a day you’d be great friends, you know? But as we grow up we let our busy everyday lives and our egos get in the way of our human ability to create strong connections with people off of the back of inaugural experiences with people; we’ve become colder. In places of the world like this they are a lot more human, I can’t wait to visit Brazil one day, such a remarkable place with such amazing people…
It's easier than you think. The best way to get someone to open up is to be vulnerable yourself, in fact this is the shortcut on how to become close friends with someone quickly (in my experience). But yes, this depends on who you're talking to as loads of people have their guards up
@@jimbean1371 ya its almost like as long as all are fed, housed, have access to education and some entertainment/recreation the other "freedoms" to acquire lots of money, property and stuff really are irrelevant and just diminish culture and human connection.
@@jimbean1371you summed it up well. Here, in Brazil, we have this quality of treating people as if they were a member of the family. it is so natural that people from other countries find it strange

The way you communicate with him only knowing basic words in portugues and still have a great time together, it's amazing. Im portugues and let me tell you that your portugues is getting better!! Great video brother
@@yamagawa7174 yes, in Portuguese is agora, but thats not a problem, Portuguese is a very hard language to learn and going to Brasil was something new for him, as you can see in his other videos he spent most of the time in countries where the official language is Spanish so I think thats why he mix Portuguese with Spanish
This video stands out as one of your best, if not the best. I’m sure making this with Igor gives him the further motivation to continue striving for his dream of helping others’ in his community. Thanks for making this Kurt and sharing it with us. Respect 👊. Cheers from 🇨🇦.
You won't believe it! A dissagreement started in a club in Denver Colorado. My brother was being attacked by 2 thugs. I joined in to help him. Someone grabed me around the neck. What I had seen on this episode in the gym showed me how to get out of the hold and reverse the situation. Thanks to Igor and the older gentleman and to you for bringing the meathod to me. I have started to study Jui-Jitso. All the best!
This is the beautiful side of YT, no bs but pure authentic content. Love watching and learning about different cultures through these inspiring individual stories you share with us.
Kurt, I've been watching your videos quietly for some time now, marveling at your ability to melt into cultures around the world. Just wanted you to know, that your videos are inspiring and a true breath of fresh air in today's world that primarily consists of selfish people wanting attention. I love that the focus of your videos is always placed on the beautiful people you meet in cities the world has told us are not safe. Keep up the fantastic work!!!
This was one of my favorite videos from you Kurt. It's so nice to meet people like Igor, he is so kind and humble wants to help people and really friendly. Hope to see more of travels like this, and you enjoy yourself 🤛🤙
This is definetly one of your best videos along with the one where you donated the money to the family in haiti. I love these videos where you look into someones life, and i hope there is a few more videos to come with Igor.
So cool! I went to Rio in 2010 and went to check out a BJJ gym near Ipanema, I just wanted to go and watch, next thing they're getting me to join in training. I ended up staying in Rio for a year, amazing people, doing capoeira in the favelas too. This brings back good memories. Valeu Kurt!
Igor reminds me so much of Charles Oliveira, hopefully we can do a GoFundMe or make some noise to the UFC to have him in the contender because he deserves it!
Probably my favourite video so far even tho every vid is a 10/10. Your eyes were just shining throughout the video and I could feel how much you like Rio. It also appears honestly to be the most beautiful city I've seen so far especially with all the real insides you gave to us. I enjoyed every single moment of it and couldn’t even break for a second because it was that interesting. Honestly thank you Kurt for your great work. Also shoutout to Igor, one of the most humble, intelligent, friendly and wise human I got introduced to. He is a big enrichment for all of Brasil as much as you are for RUclips and the world.
Charles Do bronx, UFC champion, also grew up in the São Paulo favela and became the organization's top finisher and UFC bonus record holder. Charles do Bronx takes with him the motto that "the favela won". May Igor grow in the sport. Jiu-jitsu saves.
Charles Oliveira and Igor started out in jiu-jitsu under similar conditions, but made different choices. Early on, Charles went to MMA and Igor stayed true to his martial arts roots.
I just started following Kurk's channel. His videos are so laid back and down to earth. They really show different countries and cultures in their purest forms without any tourist façade. People are also very genuine and kind. The videos aren't short, but they are actually very entertaining.
This clip had a profound affect on me. Igor exudes such good positive energy. Being able to experience all of this first hand must make you feel incredibly alive.
What an incredible human being the man is. I wish nothing but blessings and success he truly has bright future ahead of him. Pure heart right. Awesome video Kurt. I’m extremely glad that I came across your channel! Be blessed brother
Igor seems like such a genuinely nice guy trying to give back to his community after having received help himself. Amazing video Kurt, so authentic and raw. Can someone set up a donation site for Igor and his gym?
Can we take a moment to appreciate this high quality entertainment? I‘m speechless man, keep doing your thing. Kurt is such a motivating inspiration for the world.
Excellent video Kurt. Thank you for bringing us closer to the life of favela guy, I have always wondering how is it and my big wish is to see Rio de Janeiro. Saudações da Croácia!!
Wow, amazing 57 minutes of my life spent on something that's worth it. I can't express how much I enjoyed this video. So many amazing people and places. Thank you so much Kurt and Igor.
Really liked the video Kurt. Loved hearing a story about how he could turn his life around for the better in an area that is so hard to. Hope all the best for Igor, Yourself, and any others reading this
Kurt, you outdid yourself in capturing Igor's story in the way you did. The video portrays a young man from humble beginnings attempting to enrich the lives of everyone he meets. Bravo Igor. Stay the course with humility and there is no doubt you will succeed.
This video offers an authentic glimpse into the vibrant heart of Rio de Janeiro, steering clear of clichés and diving deep into the city's genuine culture. With its down-to-earth approach, Kurt captures the raw essence of Rio's streets, its people, and their daily lives, painting a vivid picture that resonates with both locals and outsiders. It's a refreshing take that showcases the true spirit of Rio beyond the postcard views. Well done and thanks!! Look forward to see Igor with you again one day.
I just realized the video is 1hour long omg I didn’t even feel that !! Once again you gave us an authentic shot from Rio and we can’t thank you enough! Igor is truly and certainly an inspiration for the kids down there and I hope he will achieve his dreams sooner or later. Good luck guys!
Hey Kurt, your the man dude.. bjj black belt from the UK, been watching for a long time so happy to see you promoting jiujitsu and the athletes on your channel...
As a student of Eddie Bravo and long time Jiu Jitsu practitioner, I have to say I really appreciated this episode. If I ever go to Rio I will look for him.
Maybe your best video yet. Amazing people and Igor is a true hero with a great mission. Kurt thanks for giving us this glimpse into life in Rio and how people live a purposeful life in wanting to lead the young to a better life via Jiu-Jitsu and close ties. Much appreciated and much respect ...
Kurt, you are the man. I love how raw your videos are. No music, text or any distractions that take away from the authenticity of your experiences. It always feels like I am there riding through the favelas with you. Keep it up🔥🔥🔥
Espero ver o Igor nos grandes campeonatos, sempre bom ver pessoas que vieram de baixo se superando e dando a volta por cima, e não indo pro caminho errado.
Wow enjoying this a lot he’s a really smart positive person and I love listening to him talk about being a mentor to kids and everyone!! I wish him nothing but the best and hope to see him fighting on TV one day. I’m only half way into the video but love it so much I had to write something.
Love that you didn't title your video "Horrific motorcycle crash in Brazil!!!" like some sites would have done. I love how real your videos are, and feel like they are truly showing us how nice peeps all over the world can be!
This is one of my favorite videos on all of RUclips. There was something magical about the way you two enjoyed that wonderful day hiking to the waterfall, travel through his neighborhood and a tour of his home and dogs. It gave us a special glimpse of Igor’s life. He is magnificent, a rare treasure and so are you. Thank you for sharing his story and bringing us along for a ride. I can’t wait to visit Brazil 🇧🇷!
Honestly one of my favourite RUclipsrs, always looking forward to the next upload. Roll 1M for you kurt, it’s well deserved. Love from Scotland 🏴
Igor is just the best. A happy, genuine, good-natured, decent man. One day he will have his own academy 🥋 This is your best video Kurt. Keep up the good work. ❤
I'm half way there, but it's so wholesome to see these 2 hanging out even though Igor doesn't speak english. That's our brazilian spirit: being welcoming and social. Tamo junto, Kurt! 🇧🇷🙏🏼
This is one of my all time favourite RUclips vids. Kurt, you are the very essence of what it means to be a traveller. Kind, open, authentic… just like your buddy Igor! Very inspiring!
Thanks Kurt, brings back memories for me. In 1987 and 1988 when I was 25 and 26 years old I spent about 4 months in Brazil. I was in Rio and other states as well. Thanks for the memories!
Posting my first comment on Kurt Caz......being citizen of the world am highly humbled watching this video of a young, intelligent, brave, humble and kind IGOR, I sincerely wish him the very best and all the luck in life and am 100% sure he will make it for him and others around him God Bless brother and muchas gracias Kurt for introducing this young good hearted gentleman to all the family on your channel...we need more of this....
All your videos are great brother but this one In particular really hit home, him explaining his views on living in the favela was eye opening and actually moving. Great video kurt bro 👍🏼
KURT, thank you for sharing with all of us the story of this amazing young man.... so very happy to see that so improbable a kid from the Favelas in Rio would sise to be " THE FRUIT OF HIS WORK".... a very humble, smart young man.... you too Kurt,.... thank you sir....
amazing video! showing the young Brazilian ..Fighting for a better future for himself and for the children of the favela....inspirational documentary ! you are the man ! Kurt.....I'm from Niterói - Rio de Janeiro
Kurt, I found you about 3 or 4 days ago and I've been going through and watching your Playlists. My wife and I watch you all day sometimes. I love seeing the real areas, and the people are usually so nice. I must say, you've really had me interested in going to Pakistan (in the meantime, I want to try some real Pakistani food). Looking forward to all of your Brazil series. Stay safe, God bless
Watching this video I was like "Kurt just passed by my street (at Jardim Botânico), what are the odds of that happening??", and then at the end of the video, he meet my friend at the jiu-jitsu academy! Wished I had the opportunity to meet him :/
one year later, and kurt's video really inspired me to start BJJ. Igor's story is extremely heartwarming. I hope he got his black belt and is achieving his dream of helping his brothers and sisters of brazil learn the art of jiu jitsu! One of Kurt's best videos without a doubt
Good on you brother! How is it going? I’ve been training for about 12 years now and I’m nowhere near Igor’s level of course but it’s the thing I enjoy most in the world. Cars are a close second😂it keeps me level headed and taught me an infinite number of things over the years. Hope you are enjoying it to this level.
Igor saiba que tu é pika irmão, além de você explicar mt bem como é a realidade de nós que moramos na comunidade, ainda tem uma mentalidade foda e com certeza vai ser inspiração pra muitas criança
Wish you could show us the sunrise view from Igor's house, would have been amazing. I really like the way you are making your videos everything feels like you are actually there experiencing daily life in Rio. Igor is a great guy, he really motivates me to start doing something, not even Jiu Jitsu but in general. Living in Favela is hard but even so he keeps on going, truely inspiring WOW
That was one of the greatest videos I have ever seen. Well organized, so interesting and the spirit of an individual who never gave up and helps others. I could not set down. Thank you for your dedication and commitment.

Tenho muito a conhecer aqui ainda e seus vídeos têm me deixado cada vez mais empolgado com essa ideia. Tamo 2gueda
Loved this video so much Kurt!. His story is so inspiring especially how he refused to let bad situations beat him down but also how he wants to give back & save more youth in the favelas. Hope he brings Gold for Brazil at the Olympics & inspires even more. So awesome to see a descendant of a Gracie doing what they do best. We owe Brazil so much!. Please keep them coming
wow what a great video! thank you kurt for this. Igor is an absolute role model, what a guy he is man... keep up these videos, they give me so much inspiration!

The way this guy can easily speak & understand the local languages is awesome. Portuguese is not easy and he delivered it.
And also carioca accent is not the easiest brazilian accent to understand
To be fair Portuguese is a fairly easy to pick up out of all those in the world, particularly if you already know Spanish

It also appears honestly to be the most beautiful city I've seen so far especially with all the real insides you gave to us. I enjoyed every single moment of it and couldn’t even break for a second because it was that interesting. Honestly thank you Kurt for your great work. Also shoutout to Igor, one of the most humble, intelligent, friendly and wise human I got introduced to. He is a big enrichment for all of Brasil as much as you are for RUclips and the world.
True!

Charles Do bronx, UFC champion, also grew up in the São Paulo favela and became the organization's top finisher and UFC bonus record holder. Charles do Bronx takes with him the motto that "the favela won". May Igor grow in the sport. Jiu-jitsu saves.
Charles Oliveira and Igor started out in jiu-jitsu under similar conditions, but made different choices. Early on, Charles went to MMA and Igor stayed true to his martial arts roots.
I just started following Kurk's channel. His videos are so laid back and down to earth. They really show different countries and cultures in their purest forms without any tourist façade. People are also very genuine and kind. The videos aren't short, but they are actually very entertaining.
Huge thank you Kurt from us brazilians means alot!
showing this other side of Brasil and not like the media do it…
KURT É CRIA !🇧🇷🇧🇷
Que favela e essa

This clip had a profound affect on me. Igor exudes such good positive energy. Being able to experience all of this first hand must make you feel incredibly alive.

One of my favorite episodes thus far. So much love and humility. Kurt definitely has a friend for life in Igor.
What an incredible human being the man is. I wish nothing but blessings and success he truly has bright future ahead of him. Pure heart right. Awesome video Kurt. I’m extremely glad that I came across your channel! Be blessed brother
Igor seems like such a genuinely nice guy trying to give back to his community after having received help himself. Amazing video Kurt, so authentic and raw. Can someone set up a donation site for Igor and his gym?
Can we take a moment to appreciate this high quality entertainment? I‘m speechless man, keep doing your thing. Kurt is such a motivating inspiration for the world.
Excellent video Kurt. Thank you for bringing us closer to the life of favela guy, I have always wondering how is it and my big wish is to see Rio de Janeiro. Saudações da Croácia!!
Such a nice humble warrior. A positive, intelligent guy is our igor. Love from 🇬🇧
Wow, amazing 57 minutes of my life spent on something that's worth it. I can't express how much I enjoyed this video. So many amazing people and places. Thank you so much Kurt and Igor.
This was soo good. What a guy igor is. I wish him success.
Igor, his professor and the crew seemed like a great bunch of lads. Makes me want to visit Brazil
Really liked the video Kurt. Loved hearing a story about how he could turn his life around for the better in an area that is so hard to. Hope all the best for Igor, Yourself, and any others reading this
igor is such a good character so wholesome and great at communicating i felt like i was brazilian for an hour! great video
@@historynetwork852, False your are just an European immigrant. The real brazilian are the natives
@@historynetwork852 Its almost like brazil has multiple ethnicities, shocking right? Congrats, you discovered the hole in macaroni.
Kurt, you outdid yourself in capturing Igor's story in the way you did. The video portrays a young man from humble beginnings attempting to enrich the lives of everyone he meets. Bravo Igor. Stay the course with humility and there is no doubt you will succeed.
💯💯💯💯💯
obrigado Igor por cuidar do Kurt e nos mostrar sua favela e sua história
I dont speak Portuguese but I know you are thanking Igor for inviting Kurt into his home and showing him things important to his life.... and i agree!
This video offers an authentic glimpse into the vibrant heart of Rio de Janeiro, steering clear of clichés and diving deep into the city's genuine culture. With its down-to-earth approach, Kurt captures the raw essence of Rio's streets, its people, and their daily lives, painting a vivid picture that resonates with both locals and outsiders. It's a refreshing take that showcases the true spirit of Rio beyond the postcard views. Well done and thanks!! Look forward to see Igor with you again one day.
I just realized the video is 1hour long omg I didn’t even feel that !! Once again you gave us an authentic shot from Rio and we can’t thank you enough! Igor is truly and certainly an inspiration for the kids down there and I hope he will achieve his dreams sooner or later. Good luck guys!
Hey Kurt, your the man dude.. bjj black belt from the UK, been watching for a long time so happy to see you promoting jiujitsu and the athletes on your channel...
What belt u think Kurt is at?
@@D9Wx hard to say really, he's definitely trained before, sprawed good and went to the back pretty smoothly...
@@D9Wx looks blue but difficult to tell
As a student of Eddie Bravo and long time Jiu Jitsu practitioner, I have to say I really appreciated this episode. If I ever go to Rio I will look for him.
Maybe your best video yet. Amazing people and Igor is a true hero with a great mission. Kurt thanks for giving us this glimpse into life in Rio and how people live a purposeful life in wanting to lead the young to a better life via Jiu-Jitsu and close ties. Much appreciated and much respect ...
Kurt, you are the man. I love how raw your videos are. No music, text or any distractions that take away from the authenticity of your experiences. It always feels like I am there riding through the favelas with you. Keep it up🔥🔥🔥
This guy is really inspiring. I wish him all the best
Espero ver o Igor nos grandes campeonatos, sempre bom ver pessoas que vieram de baixo se superando e dando a volta por cima, e não indo pro caminho errado.
🙏 Deus abençoe tambem gostei do cria 👍
sei n cara, no video aparece ele aparentemente vendendo droga
Wow enjoying this a lot he’s a really smart positive person and I love listening to him talk about being a mentor to kids and everyone!! I wish him nothing but the best and hope to see him fighting on TV one day. I’m only half way into the video but love it so much I had to write something.
Eddie Bravo, Sublime, this kid is the best. Get him the shine that he deserves. Your a good man Kurt
Brazil is THE coolest country in the world. God bless!
🥰🥰❤
🍕🥘🥘
Love that you didn't title your video "Horrific motorcycle crash in Brazil!!!" like some sites would have done. I love how real your videos are, and feel like they are truly showing us how nice peeps all over the world can be!
This is one of my favorite videos on all of RUclips. There was something magical about the way you two enjoyed that wonderful day hiking to the waterfall, travel through his neighborhood and a tour of his home and dogs. It gave us a special glimpse of Igor’s life. He is magnificent, a rare treasure and so are you. Thank you for sharing his story and bringing us along for a ride. I can’t wait to visit Brazil 🇧🇷!
Protect Igor at all costs 🥺 This has to be one of my favorite videos on RUclips! Awesome content as always! 💕
Seems like you have bad standards
@@manfa Chill bro, get a life...
Honestly one of my favourite RUclipsrs, always looking forward to the next upload. Roll 1M for you kurt, it’s well deserved. Love from Scotland 🏴
Igor is just the best. A happy, genuine, good-natured, decent man. One day he will have his own academy 🥋
This is your best video Kurt. Keep up the good work.
❤
I'm half way there, but it's so wholesome to see these 2 hanging out even though Igor doesn't speak english.
That's our brazilian spirit: being welcoming and social. Tamo junto, Kurt! 🇧🇷🙏🏼
4 uploads in 2 weeks, it must be christmas. Keep up the good work Kurt, videos are class.
This is one of my all time favourite RUclips vids. Kurt, you are the very essence of what it means to be a traveller. Kind, open, authentic… just like your buddy Igor! Very inspiring!
Thanks Kurt, brings back memories for me. In 1987 and 1988 when I was 25 and 26 years old I spent about 4 months in Brazil. I was in Rio and other states as well. Thanks for the memories!
Cool. What were you doing, working ? Studying? Partying? 😎
Igor is a genuinely amazing guy and I wish him and his dogs the best!
I didn't expect this sort of documentary like video, after other videos i had seen in this channel. Very good, congrats.
Posting my first comment on Kurt Caz......being citizen of the world am highly humbled watching this video of a young, intelligent, brave, humble and kind IGOR, I sincerely wish him the very best and all the luck in life and am 100% sure he will make it for him and others around him God Bless brother and muchas gracias Kurt for introducing this young good hearted gentleman to all the family on your channel...we need more of this....
O cara tá demais, sempre legal ver craques superando a realidade dura e subir na vida!
Harsh? He was a bus boy, that’s not hash LMAOOOOO…
@@TrixieMatteI I guess he's talking about Igor.
Please go and spend another day with Igor. This video was incredible, didn't want it to end
All your videos are great brother but this one In particular really hit home, him explaining his views on living in the favela was eye opening and actually moving. Great video kurt bro 👍🏼
KURT, thank you for sharing with all of us the story of this amazing young man.... so very happy to see that so improbable a kid from the Favelas in Rio would sise to be " THE FRUIT OF HIS WORK".... a very humble, smart young man.... you too Kurt,.... thank you sir....
Wow can’t believe I just watched the whole video 1h felt like a 15 minutes. I’m really enjoying the Brazil vlogs.
amazing video!
showing the young Brazilian ..Fighting for a better future for himself and for the children of the favela....inspirational documentary !
you are the man ! Kurt.....I'm from Niterói - Rio de Janeiro
Kurt Your A Legend Man‼️ never stop being YOU‼️
i agree
truth
He's legend bcuz he's tour put him in to dangerous.this guy is no fear at all he's so cool
This was a very inspirational video! Keep em coming Kurt!
Kurt, I found you about 3 or 4 days ago and I've been going through and watching your Playlists. My wife and I watch you all day sometimes.
I love seeing the real areas, and the people are usually so nice.
I must say, you've really had me interested in going to Pakistan (in the meantime, I want to try some real Pakistani food).
Looking forward to all of your Brazil series. Stay safe, God bless
Watching this video I was like "Kurt just passed by my street (at Jardim Botânico), what are the odds of that happening??", and then at the end of the video, he meet my friend at the jiu-jitsu academy! Wished I had the opportunity to meet him :/
one year later, and kurt's video really inspired me to start BJJ. Igor's story is extremely heartwarming. I hope he got his black belt and is achieving his dream of helping his brothers and sisters of brazil learn the art of jiu jitsu! One of Kurt's best videos without a doubt
Good on you brother! How is it going? I’ve been training for about 12 years now and I’m nowhere near Igor’s level of course but it’s the thing I enjoy most in the world. Cars are a close second😂it keeps me level headed and taught me an infinite number of things over the years. Hope you are enjoying it to this level.
You'll be reaching 1 million subscribers in no time, and you deserve it!! Keep up the great work
This man doesn’t have much. But he cares for what he has, and that brings a tear to my eye
This is so inspirational, I love how they train ! And still have the motivation to keep going ! Love this channel my guy keep doing it !
Great episode. Igor is such a warm and generous guy, and the jiu-jitsu gym was really friendly and open. Great episode, Kurt!
Loved the video , Igor is really genuine and a good dude. Good chemistry with Kurt too. Viva Brazil.
Nice video man, thank you for fortifying the brazilian culture, oss! From São Paulo - BR.
Igor saiba que tu é pika irmão, além de você explicar mt bem como é a realidade de nós que moramos na comunidade, ainda tem uma mentalidade foda e com certeza vai ser inspiração pra muitas criança

Wish you could show us the sunrise view from Igor's house, would have been amazing. I really like the way you are making your videos everything feels like you are actually there experiencing daily life in Rio. Igor is a great guy, he really motivates me to start doing something, not even Jiu Jitsu but in general. Living in Favela is hard but even so he keeps on going, truely inspiring WOW
Igor needs to create his own RUclips channel, what a remarkable young man.
Um grande abraço de Portugal para o Igor, a sua família e para todos da academia Renzo Gracie
Great work Kurt , your Brazilian friend is a great man !
That was one of the greatest videos I have ever seen. Well organized, so interesting and the spirit of an individual who never gave up and helps others. I could not set down. Thank you for your dedication and commitment.
Absolutely a great brotherhood I can't emphasize enough the love that is there
You are improving a lot your Portuguese along the videos. As a Portuguese myself I am proud of you caralho
It is amazing to see how easily you can communicate with the locals.
Amazing content 👌

GREAT VIDEO KURT holy man. Entertained from the beginning to the end !
23:25 "tô com uma paradinha maneira aí pra tu..." kkkkkkkkkkkk THATS MA BOY
Igor é um cara muito foda. Queria que atletas de alto nível assim tivessem seu reconhecimento e apoio, como acontece lá fora.
Tenho orgulho de ser brasileiro e poder ver o meu país através da sua perspectiva tem sido divertido pra caralho, Kurt. Tenho muito a conhecer aqui ainda e seus vídeos têm me deixado cada vez mais empolgado com essa ideia.
Tamo 2gueda
Salve pro manp Igor que cuidou de ti e te mostrou a porra toda sem frescura!
O que será a paradinha maneira? 🤭
certeza que a resenha com as minas foi da mais BRABA(rsrs)
Tava com a braba
Carioca tem tanta gíria que não sei se essa paradinha é a que eu to pensando kkkkkkk
Loved this video so much Kurt!.
His story is so inspiring especially how he refused to let bad situations beat him down but also how he wants to give back & save more youth in the favelas.
Hope he brings Gold for Brazil at the Olympics & inspires even more.
So awesome to see a descendant of a Gracie doing what they do best.
We owe Brazil so much!.
Please keep them coming
brazil is so beautiful
