The Passion to Fight: Checkmat BJJ & Ricardo Vieira

www.getBJJsponsorship.com – Upgrade your passion from a pastime to a profession. || Where does the passion to fight come from? If anybody knows this answer, it's Ricardo Vieira. A nine-time world champion in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, he and his brother Leo Vieira founded the Checkmat team. Known for their amazing success in competition, the team consistently places in the top three at major championships (such as the recent 2012 PanAms, where they took second in the team championship). In this video from BJJ Hacks, filmmaker and journalist Hywel Teague goes inside the famed FightZone academy in Copacabana to investigate what it is that makes this team different.
