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.

a couple of months before Rafa won ADCC 2009 he won the brazilian trials. it was a breakthrough event for us and it really put us in the spot light that year. I submitted Malfacine in that event and lost by a takedown to Raoni. Rafa used his guard to attack Raoni’s legs and guarantee his spot at ADCC. he won the brazilian trials and the main event at 19 years old. later on that same year I won my first IBJJF black belt world title. at that time we did not train nogi and it was the third nogi competition of our career. great memories and good stories.

alguns meses antes de vencer o ADCC de 2009 Rafa venceu a seletiva brasileira do evento. este foi um evento marcante em nossas carreiras e atraiu muito a atenção da mídia na época, depois desse evento a mídia começou a acompanhar nossa carreira. Neste evento eu finalizei o Malfacine e perdi para o Raoni por uma queda, Rafa venceu Raoni na final usando ataques nas pernas para completar as raspagens. Campeao da seletiva e do evento principal no mesmo ano, naquela epoca nao treinávamos nogi e esse foi o terceiro campeonato sem kimono em que participamos.

🇧🇷 disponível no Youtube da Art of Jiu Jitsu a primeira de uma serie de 5 aulas sobre conceitos de passagem de guarda comigo e @tainandalpra – o video da primeira aula tem 1h e detalha tres distâncias na passagem:

– afastado (onde fazemos as passagens com velocidade como toreando e leg drag)

– intermediário (onde eu e o Tainan fazemos a maioria dos nossos ataques como a cruzada de joelho, o long step)

– justo (quando conquistamos uma posição de domínio como a meia guarda)

confiram o video e comentem o que acharam.
