GB2 by Café Podcast: The Mindset Behind a Champion

In this conversation, Professor Flavio Almeida sits down with Professor Alexandre “Café” Dantas to explore the story behind the new GB2 curriculum—and the mindset that shaped it.

From his early struggles in Jiu-Jitsu to becoming a world champion, UFC fighter, and lifelong competitor, Café reflects on what it takes to improve, stay disciplined, and perform at a high level for decades.

He breaks down how the GB2 curriculum was built, why he focused on a forward, submission-driven style, and how each technique is connected to real competition experience. The episode also dives into his time away from competition, his return to the mats, and the lessons that stayed with him throughout his journey.

This is a conversation about growth, consistency, and building a style you can trust under pressure.
