New challenges: The ideal grappler would be one who was equally in both gi and no gi competition, and could even do well in MMA. Obviously such a project is a long term one. Some of the members are making steps in those directions. This weekend, Oliver Taza entered the Canadian Nationals at brown belt and won gold. Here he uses a variation of one of our favorite leg entry , the reverse X , to enter into the legs and quickly finish an IBJJF legal bar (heel hooks are illegal in this format). It is a nice example of cross over between two different rule sets. Good to see Mr Taza making waves in gi competition while still striving towards his main competition
