congratulations to our good friend @gilbert_burns durinho and his team on his win last night. our whole family was watching and cheering for you. durinho came from the same school as us, he trained at Nova Uniao in Rio and then joined us in 2006 where we were training under @ramonlemos – we were training partners since young age. In 2011 we had one of the best moments as a team where we brought home 3 black belt world titles with me, Rafa and Durinho winning our weight divisions. we were all together at @rvcasport when @vitorbelfort invited Durinho to begin his MMA career and last night we were so happy to see how he used his jiu jitsu and showed a champion’s most important skill: the ability to overcome.
in the video you can see perfect timing for the takedowns, great control on the ground using leg weave (always moving towards tge hip and over extending the opponent’s upper body) and sweeping the opponents base every-time he posted his hand on the ground to attempt a technical stand up.
jiu jitsu is amazing, when the level is similar looks like chess where simple mistakes or lack of attention can cost a lot. but when the level is not similar it looks like the less experienced person is desperately drowning.
