Ever meet a famous grappler
 
So have any of you ever met any really good grapplers?
I met Marcelo Garcia at Grapples Quest beast of the east 3 (Well sort of) I went with one of my friends from BJJ and he asked me to get him something to eat, so I go open the gym door and Marcelo is standing 5 feet away from me. I literary stood there with my mouth open he smiled and walked into the gym, where he preceed to destroy everyone.

I've trained with former ufc fighters tom murphy and rob mcdonald. As far as grapplers go I've trained with Rodrigo Meindros, and my instuctor is julio fernandez, who is a 5 time brazillian champion. I also met Gabrial Gonzaga at the last naga I was in.

I met just about all of the grappler's at the last ADCC, It was a great time.

Not to mention the gracie's who were not in the tourny that were there as well as Josh Barnett. Josh was the coach for a couple of females in their respected division.
