First published GRACIE #114
If two medium-heavy weight world champion titles weren’t enough, Bráulio ‘Carcará’ Estima continues his contribution to Jiu-Jitsu. After he trained and graduated his brother as a black-belt, Victor Estima, a former purple-belt, had a great fight against runner up André Galvão in the middleweight category. Fighting as a black-belt since 2004, Bráulio proved the power of the new generation once more this year, as he submitted, in BJJ World Cup, in July 22nd and 23rd, Fernando ‘Margarida’ Pontes. Right away, he asked to demonstrate to all GRACIE Mag’s readers how: “This triangle choke begins whenever they try to pass my guard with a tight scoop, get confused and try to comeback and hold my legs again,” reveals Zé Radiola’s pupil, nowadays a Jiu-Jitsu teacher in Birmingham, England.


In the World Championship’s quarterfinal, Bráulio submitted Alexandre Souza with a triangle choke that began just like the one shown here.
