My teacher Mario 'Busy' Correa. He's swept me with his eyes closed, no hands, from closed guard. I've got 60 lbs on him and I've still never gotten close to passing his guard. I think I swept him once before he learned my game and started shutting down everything I do.

There used to be a guy called Rafael who trained at my gym. He wiped the floor with everyone with ease. You couldn't get into a position to stall him. He went through everyones guards (including other black belts) guards as if they didn't have arms or legs.
Terere and Rafael were blue belts at about the same time at Alliance and they were tapping black belts as blue belts. Rafael used to spend most of his time studying at school and for his degree so he only trained 3 or 4 times a week maximum when he was fighting the likes of Jacare in a very close match. There was a video of him on youtube fighting Jacare at the finals of the worlds at middle weight brown belt.
The guy hardly ever trains. I can't imagine how good he would of been if he devoted all his time to jiu jitsu.

I consider myself a poor to average purple belt and dont have delusions of grandeur but it still is humbling and fun to be tooled and made to look like a noob all over again. Here's a link

+1 for Portugues! we just had him over for a seminar a few weeks ago and he was everything you say, including the running commentary while rolling. LOL
