Someone I'm excited about having on the podcast, someone whom when I first started Jiu-Jitsu, they were already a legend in. When I was in started in 2003, they were already a legend.

And that is none other than Hikato Loboreo.

0:30.8

So, you know, he's one of the OGs of that generation of jiu-jitsu that came up.

That was a part of really, you know, when I think about that generation of jiu jitsu that came up that was a part of really what, you know,
