๐ 2005 American BJJ Black Belt Tournament: within 6 months old as black belt I fought the tough Cassio Werneck โ 2003 BB @IBJJF World Champ, 2004 BB Worlds Silver medalist โ in the finals!
๐ฅ IPPON SEOI NAGE ๐ฅ.
*detail to apply a good drop seoi nage: open up with a nice Couchi Gari, then the ๐ฅ applying a nice Drop Ippon SEOi NAGE with your knees on the floor but you must have the tip of your toes โaliveโ so you can have power to throw your opponent. Your toes ๐ฆถ will give you a good grip to come up fasterโฆuse your hips faster and stronger. Also, you must have a great upper body turn. So you can hit the outside shoulder on your opponent. That will increase the leverage of your technique!
โซ๏ธ๐ดThat was my 5th tournament as black belt #TTJiuJitsu ๐.
๐คฉI remember I made $1k that day haha ๐ฐand when I won that I thought: โIโM RICH!!!โ ๐ kidding! But it was super fun!
๐Iโll post the entire fight soon on my IG where you will be able to see & learn a little on how I KILL THE BUTTERFLY ๐ฆ GUARD in this fight.
Werneck was super well known by his butterfly ๐ฆ guard game. โ๐ฝ.
