Vitor Terra. 

A teacher at Gracie Terra in Rio de Janeiro, Vitor Terra has been sharpening his weapons for both classical and no-gi BJJ, and in today’s lesson he shows a move he adapted from his classical BJJ training in order to torment his no-gi opposition.

The baseball choke, normally used in gi matches, has as its main characteristic the use of the lapels while the opponent gets choked due to the arms being crossed. In Vitor’s opinion, an adaptation comes in handy so that the technique can be used in no-gi.

With his knee on his opponent’s stomach, Vitor teaches how to pass your forearms around your opponent’s neck, adjust the hand-to-hand grip, and switch the base to squeeze the choke. Check it out in this video:

Professor da nossa GMI Gracie Terra, na Zona Sul do Rio de Janeiro, Vitor Terra tem afiado suas armas no Jiu-JItsu tanto de kimono quanto sem kimono, e na aula de hoje a fera mostra um golpe que gosta de adaptar do treino de pano para atacar os adversários nas disputas sem pano.

O estrangulamento beisebol, utilizado nas lutas de kimono, tem como principal característica o uso das lapelas enquanto estrangula o oponente ao cruzar os braços. Para Vitor, porém, uma adaptação cai bem para que o golpe seja usado também sem kimono.

Com o joelho na barriga, Vitor ensina como passar os antebraços em volta do pescoço do oponente, ajustar a pegada mão com mão e trocar a base para arrochar o golpe. Confira no vídeo abaixo, estude e coloque mais este trunfo na sua manga!

The heavyweight fight also marks the UFC’s debut on Fox television network, which will broadcast the showdown.

Fox, which will also broadcast the reality show “The Ultimate Fighter”, even went as far as to plug Velasquez versus Dos Santos during baseball game coverage, like in the Texas Rangers-Boston Red Sox game in the video below.

According to UFC president Dana White, the Fox deal will carry the event to a new level of popularity in the country. White’s hope is that the UFC will be as recognized as the NBA, NFL or MLB, the three main sporting organizations in the United States.
