When you’ve trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for over 30 years – competed at the highest level, coached some of the toughest athletes in the world, and run one of the top academies in the country – you know what works. For 5th Degree Relson Gracie BJJ Black Belt and Multi-Time National and World Champion Rick Migliarese, that meant keeping it simple. No supplements. No pre-workout powders. Just hard training, clean eating, and consistency.
So when his brother Phil and their friend Mike started working on Tatsu Tea, Rick wasn’t interested. Not at first. But they kept asking. So, to settle it once and for all, he agreed to a 22-day challenge: drink Tatsu Tea every day during training instead of water and see if he felt anything.
What happened surprised him.
Rick trains multiple times a day, pushing his body to the limit. Usually, he’s drained afterward. Can’t-pick-up-his-kid level tired. But a few days into the challenge, he noticed something different. He wasn’t dragging. He wasn’t crashing. By the end of those 22 days, it was undeniable. He wasn’t just recovering better, he had energy after training. Like he could go another ten rounds. It didn’t make sense.
So he did what any little brother would do - he called Phil and started yelling at him. “What the hell did you put in this?!” He thought for sure they snuck something in there.
The answer? It’s just clean, real ingredients that actually work:
-
Real Japanese matcha for clean, sustained energy
-
L-theanine to promote calm focus
-
Electrolytes to hydrate and prevent crash
-
Vitamin C + Zinc to support recovery and immune health
No added sugar. No artificial sweeteners. No crash. Just what your body actually needs to perform and bounce back, whether you’re a seasoned black belt or brand new to the mats.
That’s when Rick knew this was the real deal. Not hype, not just another product. It’s the only thing he’s ever used that actually changed how he feels after training, the only one he’s ever put his name behind. Because he’s seen firsthand what it can do.
Rick doesn’t train without it now. And once you try it, you might not either.
Why Tatsu Works for BJJ:
-
Clean matcha energy sharpens focus and boosts endurance
-
L-theanine helps you stay calm under pressure (ideal for rolling)
-
Electrolytes keep hydration and mental clarity locked in
-
Vitamin C + Zinc accelerate recovery and support immunity
Tatsu Tea was built by grapplers who train with purpose. It’s not just a drink. It’s part of your game.
