All Jiu-Jitsu aces were once white belts, as GRACIEMAG.com never ceases to repeat.
Such is the case with Rodolfo Vieira of GFTeam. While he’s now one of the biggest names in Jiu-Jitsu, he was once a purple belt too.
In the following video, you can get a glimpse of where it all started in Rodolfo’s (with the green-and-yellow belt) career.
What was the secret to him becoming a top-of-the-line black belt and masterful guard passer? He never gave up.
Ignore the music and marvel at the world champion’s Jiu-Jitsu.
