Inside Brazilian Top Team
When you go to visit an academy such as BTT is, your first wish is to look for MMA stars like Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira, Ricardo Arona, Rogerio "Minotoro" Nogueira, Paulo Filho, Murilo Bustamante and many others.

Are your students looking to be competitors or they train for fun too?

Alvaro- We have all kind of students. There are students who come here just to keep the shape. They don't have any intention of becoming fighters.

Denis- And you? Do you train MMA?

Alvaro- My deal here is more focused in BJJ, but I have intention of training MMA soon. I'm 2x Brazilian BJJ champion and I'm head-coach of the BJJ sessions here, so this is a good credential to become a MMA fighter. I'm waiting for a good proposal so I'll debut at MMA.

Later I tried to join all BTT guys to take a picture, Alvaro Oliveira disappeared and nobody knew where he was. So we didn't take a picture of him- and to represent the BJJ sessions by a picture, we took one of the coordinator Eduardo Rios. Rios laughed a lot and told us, he was happy that Oliveira went out in that moment of BTT academy, so he could appear on the article.

So, this was my visit at the Brazilian Top Team - AABB - Avenida Borges de Medeiros, 829 - Lagoa - Rio de Janeiro.

I hope to have elucidated a few questions of the fans over this academy and lets move to another camp and explore the way and the programs system to the fans.
