Gregor Gracie had a wonderful performance over the weekend at the IBJJF Boston Spring Open taking home double gold. What might be even more impressive were Gracie’s back to back americana submissions in the medium-heavy semi-final and final.
Both matches lasted under 1 minute as both opponents went for the same game plan of diving in for the deep half-guard. It was during transition from half-guard to deep half-guard that Gracie capitalized. Snatching the under-hook of the free hand and isolating it for the Key-lock submission.
