BJJ Fanatics was started by a pair of black belts (Bernardo Faria &Michael Zenga) who feel that nothing is more important than improving your BJJ skills as much as possible in the least amount of time. Their aim was to create a shop for BJJ Students who don’t look at BJJ as a sport – but as a lifestyle. You might be interested in Open Guard Sweeps and Submissions by Marcelo Motta.
