He raised thousands to donate gi's to underprivileged Brazilian kids and tried to pocket the money. It wasn't until he was confronted years later that he attempted to do the right thing. I'm personally boycotting that guy and anything he promotes.

Is that for realz? If so, pretty f--d up.
Hoe.
Lee.
Shit.
Wow. What an asshole. 
Wow.... what a fucking scumbag. We were thinking of getting a bulk order of kids gis from him, no way that is happening now.
No bueno
shouldn't be taking years to send what amounts to clothes overseas.
Mike Wazowski - shouldn't be taking years to send what amounts to clothes overseas.It's a long read, but more than $4000 was also collected which is also unaccounted for.
clifs?
You mean the guy that mooches free gis out of manufacturers for reviews and then sells them for profit? Hmm, who would've thought...
Just dropped him on Facebook, dunno if that helps
Doesn't he post here?
well then. f that guy if all this is true.
the bjj community is small enough to where it's not worth ruining your name/rep like this.
Chicago peeps. find out about this guy. I have given GIs to less fortunate kids before. low scale (i.e. my own dime for local kids). lying like that is some shady stuff. I don't like it one bit.
Wow... I seriously couldn't believe this. I was under the impression that brendan was a good guy running an even better company supporting kid's jiu jitsu, but after all this im going to have to boycott him and OK kimonos. I've been following the Facebook group where Brendan was asked to given the chance to defend himself, he said he had to go to work and so did not have the time to explain his side (although he has been posting on OK kimonos Facebook all day). He isn't tecginally from Chicago, he's from Indiana and trains at Miguel torres's school in east Chicago. that's all the info I got on him. If anyone reading this trains out of that gym or knows someone that does, please pass the word around so that this guy never pulls a stunt like this again!
Hmmm. Interdesting. He always seemed sketchy.
Ttt
Oh hell nah
get him on insidebjj
TTT
What about the children
