EE 202: The Jiu Jitsu Life with Marcus Buchecha Almeida
In Episode 202 I sit down with my friend and former Professor Marcus Buchecha Almeida. I trained under Buchecha from 2011-2013 and remain a teammate under the Checkmat banner to this day. We go all the back to the beginning of how Marcus found jiu jitsu and the long and arduous process of how he became an elite competitor. He went from wanting to quit jiu jitsu for having so many bad performances at competitions to becoming the most decorated jiu jitsu athlete of all time! Being part of the team and witnessing Buchecha’s meteoric rise to superstardom is something I will cherish for life. What a time to live in Southern California with Checkmat. As someone who knew Marcus before he was a blackbelt world champion, I can attest he’s still that kindhearted down to earth person I remember from 2011. I really enjoyed this reconnection. Please enjoy episode 202 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast.
