Professor Feitosa Seminar in Seattle


I attended a seminar with Professor Feitosa and Kyra Gracie a little over a year ago, I think. He went over the ankle pick takedown, as well as a few moves from the closed guard using the lapel, a choke and an armlock. Kyra showed a kneebar counter to the lockdown that I had a hard time replicating, but was an interesting technique nonetheless.

I remember being surprised at how tall Marcio Feitosa was, especially given that he competed at the 67 kg limit at Abu Dhabi in 2005. That's about 147.4 pounds.

I'm looking to make both the Friday evening and Saturday afternoon sessions. It will be a nice diversion from prepping for the Revolution event only a week afterwards.
