Have you ever seen two masters in action at a BJJ tournament? With the following video, we draw your attention to the coral-belt duel between Orlando Saraiva, who teaches at D15 Academy, and Armando Restani.
The match, held in São Paulo in 2007, pits the masters against each other with no weight limit. Orlando, smaller and lighter, takes the initiative with a single-leg takedown attempt, later bringing the fight to the ground with his solid judo. Then he proceeds to work from the half-guard.
Check out the fight below and draw some inspiration. After all, we can all do a lot worse than being like these two a few decades from now.
