🥋 Zuck Tries BJJ

What up Flowrollers, it’s a great day to wear 2 cups for maximum armbar leverage.

THE MAIN EVENT 🚨

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg turned heads when he posted a bunch of photos from a BJJ competition over the weekend.

But do you think he was getting everyone’s A-game? I could easily see people going light against him and not wanting to injure or embarrass one of the most powerful people in the world. Let’s hear what you think:

THIS GI DOESN’T ZUCK 🔥 
together with Gold BJJ

Gold BJJ’s lightweight Aeroweave Gi is as light as it is strong. At just 275gsm, this gi is a favorite of competitors (or anyone who just likes training in lightweight kimonos). And funny enough, it’s the gi Mark Zuckerberg wore over the weekend:
