Keenan Cornelius and Josh Hinger train together at
Atos Jiu-Jitsu in San Diego. Both are black belts under Andre Galvao.
They're not closing out divisions like many teammates
do but instead are facing off against each other in the finals of the absolute
divisions.
From what we've heard, there's no bad blood between
the two -- they just want the mat time. Competitions are as much a learning
experience as time spent in the gym, and Hinger even wrote about the benefits
of friendly rivalries in a recent article.
One of the best things about jiu-jitsu is you can go
all out in a match only to shake your opponent's hand after, enjoy a chat, and
then do it all again when you see each other at the next tournament.
Right now the tally is 2-1 to Cornelius, with two wins
in the gi versus Hinger's no-gi win at American Nationals.
