Professor Fabio Holanda has led his GMA BTT Canada team to victory once more, this time near their home turf. The Montreal-based academy was successful in securing three trips to the 2014 World Championship at the Ontario International Open held May 3-4.

Terrie Schauer was the first to compete and win in the women’s blue belt light absolute earning her travel expenses to the Worlds.

A week after returning from the WPJJC in Abu Dhabi with a first place win, BTT purple belt Yacinta Nguyen continued her winning streak by securing two more gold medals in both her weight division and the heavy purple/brown/black belt absolute to earn her ticket.

Joining them this year is well-known veteran BJJ fighter and black belt Lee Villeneuve, who not only swept his division and the absolute in gi, but pulled off a repeat double gold performance in the no-gi divisions as well.

Over all BTT, upheld their reputation taking first place in no-gi and second place in gi as a team.

Nosso GMA no Canadá, o faixa-preta Fabio Holanda está de malas prontas para Abu Dhabi. O líder da BTT Canadá viaja para acompanhar os atletas que obtiveram as vagas nas seletivas que ele organizou, em Montreal, Natal e Manaus. “O bicho vai pegar lá. Embarcamos na próxima segunda-feira”, contou a GracieMag.

Feliz com a boa fase do seu time, o casca-grossa mostrou uma variação do triângulo de mão indo para o ezequiel.

Aos 17 segundos do vídeo, Fabio encaixa o golpe e detalha a defesa do oponente. Repare como ele coloca a mão direita na manga do braço esquerdo e usa a mão esquerda como uma faca.

Aos 45s, Holanda mostra como girar para definir o arrocho e a pressão no pescoço do oponente. Ele ainda mostra como usar o joelho para evitar que o adversário escape.
