How about kicking off a roll by grabbing the collar, getting the takedown and choking out your opponent—all without exerting much force? Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?
Well pinch yourself. Professor Daigo Rodrigues of Nine Nine Pernambuco school shows how to do all that in a question of seconds. Watch and learn. And remember, only practice this under the supervision of a qualified Jiu-Jitsu instructor.
"The guard is the salvation of the weak," said Rilion Gracie in a GRACIEMAG interview in February 2009. Well today, after wins from stars Fabricio Werdum (in Strikeforce) and Anderson Silva (in the UFC), everyone seems to understand a little better just how important Jiu-Jitsu's leg game is in a fight situations.
