ps1 Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 I was in a Mario Sperry seminar over the weekend (4-24-08 ). I really liked some of the stuff he did. Plus he rolled with everyone in the seminar. I will say I was amazed at how rough he is. Don't confuse rough with not technical. He was rough and technical. My match with him was pathetic. I made a stupid mistake while pulling guard and he heel hooked me in like...4 seconds. No big deal though, he worked with me alot throughout the seminar and gave me tons of pointers on some of my favorite positions. I got to roll some other guys and did quite well. Overall, it was a great seminar. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."
glockmeister Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Great job, Sounds like you got some good experience. "You know the best thing about pain? It let's you know you're not dead yet!"http://geshmacheyid.forumotion.com/f14-self-defense
bushido_man96 Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Sounds like you had a good time and learned a lot. I am not familiar with the name, though. Is he all BJJ, or does he fight, too? https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
ps1 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Posted May 1, 2008 He is a Carlos Gracie Sr. Black Belt that left the gracie camp to form the original Brazilian Top Team. He's a multiple time BJJ world champion and has had several Vale Tudo fights. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."
bushido_man96 Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Cool. Sounds like someone a guy could learn a lot from. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
kenpo4life Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Mario is an AMAZING grappler. He was one of the first to speak out against the propoganda machine of the Gracies. He also spoke about BJJ for self defense as opposed to spork. If my survival means your total destruction, then so be it.
Adonis Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Did he say any thing funny in his seminar. I love his instructionals, good techniques as well as comedy relief.
ps1 Posted May 31, 2008 Author Posted May 31, 2008 Did he say any thing funny in his seminar. I love his instructionals, good techniques as well as comedy relief.Actually he did. Some of it isn't appropriate for the forum. Other stuff is ok. He was talking about getting the opponent to reach for you. He made the husband and wife analogy. You know...if you want your wife to do something...tell her not to do it He was talking about making it look like you don't want the opponent to grab the collar...then they will try to grab it. Boom...they just extended themselves. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."
Adonis Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 That is awesome! Hey PM me with other stuff that he did you said can't be said on the forum. I would love to hear about it. I would love to attend one of Mario's Seminars. -Jeff
kansascityshuffle Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I had the pleasure of training under him for a while and my good friend that's now a gracie barra blackbelt got his blue belt under Mario when he was living in Brasil. Yes, he's very technical and rough, best way to describe his jiu jitz
