5. (Xande Ribeiro) Building A Legacy In The Days Before Instagram Jiu Jitsu

Today, I talk with one of Jiu Jitsu’s most iconic legends about what you must sacrifice in order to pursue your dreams and become a champion. We explore the challenges and blessings of having your older sibling as your coach, becoming the most authentic version of yourself as a fighter and instructor, and what it was REALLY like to fight in Brazil before the days of Instagram Jiu Jitsu. I met Xande when I was 8 years old, and it’s an honor to share some of his stories, wisdom, and warmth with you all this week.
