Keenan Cornelius vs Paulo Miyao 2013 European Championships

Great match at the recent IBJJF 2013 Europeans in Lisbon between, without doubt, two of the top brown belt's of the moment. Double guard pulls, leg drag's and berimbolo's have been gaining popularity and were the over whelming style on display at this big 4 event. Kennan showed a master class of this style during the 2012 season when he won double gold at all 4 major tournaments. Check out the link below to see him use his knowledge of this game to overcome one of its greatest proponents, Paulo Miyao, en route to double gold at the first major IBJJF comp of 2013. Some example's of how to counter this very popular game are on view at at;

  1. Rolling toe hold counter to berimbolo at 1.10
  2. A crucial back escape at 5.15
  3. Very creative and effective pass at 6.37
  4. Great leg pummelling, pants grips and awareness throughout
