Bruno Alves Silver at IBJJF World Master 2024

We would like to congratulate Bruno Alves on his silver medal at the IBJJF World Master Championship.

This was Bruno's first competition in 7 years and he had 6 matches, getting 4 submissions along the way. Bruno got beat by a close call, refs decision in the final. This is the only way we have ever seen Bruno lose a match. We have never seen him lose by points or submission the whole time we have known and worked with him. He is truly one of the best athletes in the world.

After a 7 year layoff, this is a huge achievement and just shows the quality and standard Bruno is at, both in jiujitsu, and in life.

He is so professional in everything he does and when he commits to something, he is fully in. No doubts, no stones left unturned. He knows he has a lot of people who look up to him and he carries that responsibility into every preparation, every tournament, and everything he does in his life.

It is always a pleasure working with Bruno and we look forward to the next time.

From Bruno's Instagram:

"Second at @ibjjf Worlds Masters 2024! 🇧🇷 🇦🇺 

Today was a long day here in Vegas—6 matches, 4 submissions, and a close call in the final loosing by referee decision.

After 7 years away from competition, I decided to give it another big shot. Over the last 10 weeks, I got back to training hard with my students and SJJA coaches without do much noise as I did not know if my body would handle it and it did.

Big thanks to my conditioning coach @coachpirri and the amazing crew at @totalhealthperformance who got me into the best shape of my life. I couldn’t have done it without the support of @ch.arise.v, who fixed me up and helped me push through all the injuries during camp.

Thanks to God, my family, my fiancée @soflundd who put up with my bad mood during weight cuts and supports me every single day, my coach @zeradiola who taught me the best jiu-jitsu, and all my staff, students, and friends—you’re the reason I did it again.

Also, a huge thanks to my long-time great friends @otaviosousagbhb & @lucasrochabjj who coached me today & Shannon fish who came to watch it.

I hope this competition inspires others to believe they can always go beyond what they think is possible.

The medal may not be gold, but this comeback feels like gold to me. 👊💎

Charles Negromonte - The Bull Sweep & Open Guard Attacks Cover BJJ Fanatics

Massive congratulations to Charles Negromonte on the release of his product The Bull Sweep & Open Guard Attacks on BJJ Fanatics.

If you are into jiu-jitsu I guarantee this is worth the investment. Professor Charles is one of the top competitors in the world but he is also a great coach. I have been fortunate enough to experience his coaching personally over the past few weeks, doing some privates with my friend Fish and Professor Charles. He explains how to do the technique, why you do it, and when to do it at the correct times. The thing that makes him great is his attention to detail. If you are on the wrong angle, you drop your head when you shouldn't, you let go of a grip too early or too late, he picks up everything. Whilst you may not get that personal feedback from a video, you will still learn so much that you will be able to apply it on the mat. If you live in Sydney then I highly recommend you invest in the product and also in some privates with Charles, that would be the perfect set up in my opinion.

You can purchase the product through this link https://bjjfanatics.com/collections/new-releases/products/the-bull-sweep-open-guard-tactics-by-charles-negromonte

Also subscribe to Charles' YouTube channel as he posts a lot of training sessions, techniques, and his competitions, which are all great. You can see him compete against, and beat, some really big names in the sport.

I can't speak highly enough of Charles and know you won't be disappointed learning from him.
