Just a few weeks after training at our academy here in Colorado. Xande Ribeiro traveled to Portugal to compete at the IBJJF European Championships. It was his first return to competition in a couple years and he put on a show. Submitting 4 out of his 5 opponents on way to gold, and two of the submissions went to sleep. It was an awesome display of our Jiu-Jitsu and most of the moves he hit we focus on a lot in the beginner program. It was also fun to see him switch from the seatbelt control to double unders as we have been covering in advanced class lately so he could stay behind the triceps and get the win with an arm in ezekiel choke.
