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?!
People please more likes , more comments.This fighter is under rated now , he will be rememberd in years to come as one of the best, if not the best!!!!
Rafa, you are a smart and dangerous person! You and your bro are great guys. Keep it up. Thank you. Good interview questions by Kenny. Awesome all around.
Rafa thank you ,i learnt from you something very important .I learnt how to think like a champ , you are not only a champ but a very good teacher as well.May the force be with you .God bless .
Valeu Rafa!! Você e seu irmão são exemplo de inspiração para muitas crianças de todo o mundo. Estou muito feliz de poder ter acesso à AOJ. Desejo todo o sucesso para vocês e família. Deus abençoe !!!
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
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.
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.
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.
> 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.
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?
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

the Lionel Messi of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu...
Kenny Florian is a great interviewer.
You beat me to it. He's incredible.
You beat me to it. He's incredible.

He's a bit of a Braulio Estima lookalike 😀

Someone make a Mendes brothers documentary
Idlove to see him vs caiio terra I think is the best match for him and his brother.
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.

Podia ter legenda! rs
Rafa o melhor 👊💪
Concordo contigo, Rafa é o melhor!
nao o buchecha eo melhor
+Gabriel Santos São categorias diferentes. Seria uma grande luta deles! Maus eu sou mais o Rafa!!
como assim meu brother se tu realmente tu entende de jiu jitsu so tu ve sempre foi e sempre vai ser o buchecha
+Gabriel Santos o melhor é o Roger gracie ! Ele finalizou o buchecha
podia ter uma legenda
"Jiu Jitsu it's like chess." Well-said man.
I love my gym but would really like to train at AOJ
I traind at AOJ! Met the brothers! Sauve! Oss Ernie Switzeralnd
Legenda em português por favor.
Legenda em português....please
please write a book! thanks
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Podia ter pelo menos uma legenda em portugues! Acredito que a maioria das visualizações são de brasileiros.
matheus eu coloco legenda em ingles. mas acho q vc pode por a legenda em portugues nas configuracoes do youtube.
Queria legenda:(
interview with gui next! :)
ballin
My impression is, Seem that is has a experience of a man that is 90 Years old!!!
gui e rafa cade as legendas pros br?
this guy is boss. and Kidpeligro too.
Podiam ter legendado :-(
Rafa por favor 🙏 escreve um livro 📖 bro pleaseeeee
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.
the cream boys do it again
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.
Presence of Mind He stays out of headlocks
@@Bairov exactly. None could smash his head. Hugs from Brazil!
I have a man crush on mr mendes
So who's more skilled: Gracie brothers or these guys?
which Gracie brothers & what context. sport Jiu Jitsu or self defense?
p4p him and Marcelo Garcia, but Roger Gracie is the best grappler in the world
> 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.

Apparently the one who got Rafaels position because Rafael got sick, is not the centerpiece of Gods plan
does rafa have a heat rash on his neck lol
epark91 Happens a lot in BJJ
All this time i thought Rafa is older than Gui . . . .. . . .
He has almost 0 cauliflower ear WTF!
Sounds like marcelo garcia. If you wanna get good go train more jiu jitsu
Well..results speak for themselves. Go train.
Não manjo nada de inglês não entendi nada
muito menos eu
whats wrong with kennys face? he looks 50
He was a top level MMA competitor.
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
