Behind the Scenes at IBJJF Pan Ams 2010 – Felipe Costa & Christian Montes

Throwback to April 2010 – Pan Ams Vibes

Casual pre-comp chat between two friends and teammates at the IBJJF Pan Ams in California. This was either the day before or the same day Felipe Costa and Christian stepped on the mats to compete.

Christian Montes (founder of Ronin Athletics in NYC, now proudly GracieJJ-affiliated) received his Black Belt from Felipe and has been carrying the flag of quality Jiu-Jitsu on the East Coast since even before that.

Cool to look back at these moments and see how far the journey has taken us—from competing and coaching, to helping the next generation of grapplers reach their goals
