Graciemag was fortunate enough to witness recently a meetup between Ronaldo Jacaré and Rodolfo Vieira, two BJJ giants who have successfully migrated to MMA. The meeting wound up turning into a true laboratory of MMA-focused BJJ, what with Jacaré’s experience with adapted positions.
This time, the important detail taught by Jacaré was how to use one’s shoulder to get an advantage over an opponent who has their back on the ground. The ensuing pressure is absurd even for Rodolfo. Jaca stresses the importance of precisely distributing one’s weight and having firm grips. Check it out in the video.
