By Jake Burroughs on Monday, April 14, 2008 - 06:47 pm: Edit PostThat is from his book/DVD combo package that is excellent! A top BJJ guy from what I have been told. I have had the great fortune to train with one of his top BB in Alberto Crane, and if he is any indicator then Draculino is awesome!
He just moved to Houston from Brazil and is teaching stateside now!

By Jason M. Struck on Wednesday, April 16, 2008 - 05:42 pm: Edit Postironically, the brazilians have so much more respect for and understanding of stand up skills, judo in particular, than do their acolytes here in the states.
By Backarcher on Wednesday, April 16, 2008 - 10:33 pm: Edit PostMario Sperry said that's the biggest difference between the BJJ fighters in the states and in Brazil. Many Brazilians learn Judo first. Judo is bigger than BJJ in Brazil. Americans often come to BJJ without wrestling or Judo.
By Jason M. Struck on Monday, April 21, 2008 - 12:18 pm: Edit PostIt's apparent in fighters like Jacare.
Flavio Canto is a master. Dave Camarillo (Guerrilla Jits fame) is hosting him in San Jose soon.
