On this weeks episode of Open Mat Radio, we have Part 2 of a 2-part series with Gustavo Dantas. In this interview, we talk about Gustavo’s tournaments, the IBJJF, the growth of the sport and much more! Enjoy the show!
What do think about the IBJJF's development over the years? Gustavo has very clear ideas about this. Those ideas are in stark contrast to what Xande said in our interview with him (in our archive if you haven't listened).
So is the IBJJF doing enough for the sport? If not, what do they need to do?
One thing I really like is how Gustavo organizes his tournaments. He looks at things as a promoter AND as a competitor and really tries to give everyone what they want. Has anyone here ever been to one of his tournaments in Arizona?

I one of his affiliate instructors and he really does care about everyone and cares alot about running a smooth tournament. He really tries to please as many people as he can! Ben Henderson is a regular competitor at Gustavos tournaments. He competed a week or two after beating Edgar for the belt.
