Never has there been a Brazilian in New York quite like our GMA Marcelo Garcia.
The ADCC legend and five-time Jiu-Jitsu world champion is recovering from an injury that kept him out of the 2012 Worlds. He should be returning to action soon, though, to the delight of fans and students of his across the planet.
Not long ago, Marcelo was paid a visit by the current female absolute champion of the world, Gabi Garcia, and the roll that ensued between the two turned out to be quite interesting to watch, even instructive.
Take note of how Marcelo kicks off the roll with a reversal, after controlling Gabi’s arms and extending his legs for the hook sweep.
What do you say, gentle reader? What did you learn from this epic spar, with a total of 12 world titles between the two participants?
I learned a new way to take the back.
Its like you read my thoughts! You seem to know so much approximately this, like you wrote the e book in it or something. I think that you simply could do with a few p.c. to drive the message house a little bit, but instead of that, that is wonderful blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.
