Serrin at the World Championships

This post is a need to dedicate to a sample of jiu jitsu and grappling, but above. is a personal dedication to a friend, of which I am proud of being a student: the Leghorn Serrini Bernardo, brown belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu athlete plurititolato disciplines in our beloved fighters. Bernardo after a workout that lasted months, flew to Miami to attend the World Championship organized by the FILA grappling, in that, however, is fully functional. With reference to the history
copy and paste excerpts of his article in his personal blog that state as follows.


"Starting with the first match where I stand in front of an American of ATT, I won 5-4 and I am faced Ben Askren, that is, the eventual champion of the category. I avoid the fight standing with him, takes him to Point guard without suffering a loss, I feel a kimura that he defends very well and his attempt to pass his guard fall in the dreaded "Brabo choke. I get up and look a little disappointed the repechage, where I am in front of the Brazilian Kitober. I know that a customer is uncomfortable, then try to struggle to his feet, he refused and attacked with an armlock from the guard, which I defend. Then flows to a triangle that still defend a omoplata that achieves the same result and just throw him in half guard kimura attacks my foot. I defend, but she stumbles onto the key to the knee and I have to say goodbye to my dreams of the podium. I found the tooth and faced the largest and third place winner, and winner of the tournament the next day Gi (all victories for the submission !!!!)... No excuses ... Next time you need to do better!!
face the second day with a different spirit, conscious of my best game with kimono ... but during warm fall hurt my already painful ankle, which swelled like a balloon. I decide also to fight to win 3-2 and I can fight with my black belt in judo American .... I go limp and unable to continue. Another dream podium vanished ... "


What about ... without falling into the rhetoric and perhaps embarrassing" harping "I do not suit and, knowing Bernardo, nor are they so like him, I just say that this guy, 34 years, he always manages to address the athletic and sporting passion with the desire to a kid and always bringing home excellent results.
Technically, I repeat for the umpteenth time, is certainly a black belt, has nothing more to show for the coveted title of Master of Brazilian jiu jitsu, especially after participating in a global tournament, with real opportunities to reach the podium of the world's strongest fighters.
About the devolution aspect of the discipline, Bernard is a teacher for me, complete, accurate and able to instill wisdom sport, in addition to technical knowledge that is capable of transmitting in every lesson: I go every week from him for over three years , by 150 km round trip to learn and evolve more Moreover, despite my ever-increasing demands of work that gradually more and more force me to sacrifice a few hours to the mat, but also from my hand, never fail to make me give up, too is the passion that binds me to this "martial arts fighter" which is the BJJ.
Transfers out of the house, I was saying, which are always prolific and necessary to enable the growth in our beloved discipline and I do not just weigh the quality of teaching of Bernard, in addition, we should say, the personal quality of the boys constitute the RGC Livorno: Friends, sports, children just as true and loyal if they meet.
The group is known, is on the teacher, Bernardo and even this was a sample. So I hope
. Dear Berny, that Bob decides to tie a black belt around the waist, you're just the well-deserved.
you soon brother, I'll wait on the mat, always ready to try to fuck with some unexpected techniques to consume the collar of his kimono and groped to demonstrate that the student can challenge even the master ... ;-)
Abraço!
