This is the second Gordinho seminar I've been able to attend - if you haven't been to one, you don't know what you're missing! Not only does the guy have the competition record to back up his jiu jitsu, his students do too (think UFC 132 and Dos Anjos KO's Sotiropoulos and a little guy named Roger Gracie)!
Over 2 days in Sydney, Gordinho went over the most basic positions, sharing his philosophy on jiu jitsu and details that make all the difference. He also managed to squeeze in a few promotions, photoshoot, interview and more:
 |
| Blitz Magazine photoshoot |
 |
| Even the kids got in on the action |
 |
| Gordinho shares technical details to his mount |
 |
| Gracie Oceania girls getting some jiu jitsu tips from Gordinho |
 |
| Post seminar promotions |
 |
| Gracie Oceania instructors |
 |
| Two people that have made a world of difference to my jiu jitsu! |

ReplyDeleteA great seminar. Well worth the trip from New Zealand! Top top quality with pure technical simplicity. This man is not to be missed when he comess next.
ReplyDeleteCool, although I was a bit confused by the bit where you say Roger Gracie was a student under Gordinho.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I'm aware, the most important instructors for Roger were Carlos Jr (who gave him his black belt), Rilion and of course his dad, Maurição. I wasn't aware of a connection to Gordinho, though I could be wrong.
I know that Gordinho has helped Roger prepare for some of his comps, he talked about some of the basics at his seminar!
