Aesopian's Totally Awesome Journal is simply that: the best jiu jitsu blog in the known universe. I've mentioned Aesopian before, and am delinquent in putting a link on the main page. But his blogwork is most deserving. Hail the mighty mighty Aesopian!
The latest cause for celebration is this breakdownof my favorite guard, the Marcelinho guard as practiced by the greatest pound for pound jiu jitsu competitor around, Marcelo Garcia.
I've been bumbling about for the past few months with an improvised Marcelinho guard stitched together with my most basic impressions of Marcelo Garcia's game. This breakdown (for whom much credit goes to jiu jitsu colleague "Leo" as to Aesopian for some of the hardcore analysis work) is a godsend for those of us looking to add aspects of Marcelo's guard game into ours.
