I don’t hide anything. I show what the students want to see. I do not know if some people when they give seminars deliberately teach bad or if they really don’t have capacity to teach well. I have seen seminars where, they only show three or four positions and finish the seminar with no details. Because of that I think that the students learn more watching an event or videos than watching some seminars. I know that there are blue and purple-belts giving seminars and even classes of Jiu Jitsu. This is very incorrect. I am open to receive invites to give seminars anywhere. When I was in USA I gave a seminar in Iowa with the best Wrestlers in the world, and they loved it. Also I am open to teach foreign students in my academy with private classes or in class.

OTM: Will you do DVD or tape of Master Osvaldo Alves techniques in the future?

MOA: I have an interest in that. This will be very different type of tape than what is being made nowadays. I will make tapes where the all elements will be shared, one tape with stand up Jiu Jitsu moves, another one just on taking the back, another one with just passing the guard, each tape would be very different and detailed.

OTM: What are you most proud or happiest with in your life inside Jiu Jitsu?

MOA: The talent that God gave me, I got to become myself a student of Jiu Jitsu. I have the ability of developing specific positions. I am proud to without any vanity, have created 30% of the moves that Jiu Jitsu showed in last 25 years.

OTM: Thanks for this opportunity Master Alves, We are all anxious on seeing your tapes when you make them.
