The brown belts João Gabriel Rocha of Soul Fighters and Felipe Pena of Gracie Barra put on a first-rate final in the absolute division of the 2012 Worlds, and proved they they’re ready for their black belts, when that time should come.
Take a look at the style of the two athletes, who also won their respective weight classes.
Coached by Bruno Tanque and Augusto Tanquinho, the superheavyweight João Gabriel is wearing the blue gi. In white, Felipe Pena, the medium heavyweight champ, is the brother of mat wizard Augusto Tio Chico.
