GB Online is excited to announce the outstanding performance of two of our instructors, Professors Alexandre Café and Lucas Norat, at the IBJJF Pan Ams held last weekend.

Professor Alexandre Café, a fifth-degree black belt, won the super-heavyweight division of the Master 3 category, securing his seventh gold medal at the prestigious tournament since 1998. This remarkable achievement is a testament to his unwavering commitment to the art and his ability to compete at the highest level.

Meanwhile, Professor Lucas Norat, a black belt, brought home a bronze medal in the heavyweight division of the Adult category, showcasing his hard work, talent, and skill in the sport.

We are immensely proud of their accomplishments. They serve as an inspiration to our community, motivating us to push ourselves further and strive for excellence in everything we do.

Congratulations Professors. We are honored to have you as part of our GB Online team and look forward to your continued success.

I think Jiu-Jitsu is an incredible tool for self-development. It allows us to embrace short-term challenges with long-term victories. This mindset has been helpful to me on and off the mat over the years. Curious about other people's opinions. What do you think?

Here is an excellent video from Prof Flavio Almeida explaining this.
