Bruno Alves is a future star of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition scene. I took this photo of him after he won gold at the AFBJJ Queensland Championships 2012. I believe he also came 3rd in the prestigious Abu Dhabi Worlds earlier in the year.

Bruno was very approachable and willing to pose for me and to see him compete was truly inspiring.

I met Andy competing at the AFBJJ Queensland Championships. He was competing as a white belt in his second competition. The results didnt go his way but he wasnt too bothered as you can see by this photo.

Zac was competing at his first BJJ competition (AFBJJ Queensland Championship 2012) as a white belt and was very happy with his results. He's posing here after getting second in both Gi and NoGi brackets. I hope I remember those results correctly Zac! He managed to win some fights by submission which is very impressive for his first comp.
