The encounter took place at Brazil 021 academy in the Tijuca neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, and GRACIEMAG.com was on the beat, of course. André “Negão” Terencio and Hannette Staack, our GMAs in Chicago, early in the week welcomed in “rival” Hillary Williams for an exchange of information and the kind of friendly shindig typical of good Jiu-Jitsu practitioners.
They didn’t train, but there was plenty of goodwill between the two submission aces. “What I won’t forget about my match with Hannette was the thrashing I took,” said Hillary, thankful for the “instructive” lesson.
