Positional sparring, a daily part of training at Connection Rio since day one of this academy, is a crucial part of the development and expansion of every practitioner's game. This is a bridge between the techniques we learn and their application in sparring, competition and self defense.
When practicing specific positions, we often find ourselves in places we do not arrive at until these areas of our jiu-jitsu have been developed. As taught to Prof. Asche by Master John Machado and Master Gordo this is how it is done.
