Six-time world champion Robson Moura is giving a 2 day seminar in Hollywood, FL in the beginning of September. He will be teaching gi, no-gi and even a kids only seminar. He’s also available for private and semi-private lessons.
I’m helping to promote this since it’s being held at the gym I just gave my seminar at. I was talking to Mike, the gym owner, and he said that last year almost no one showed up for Robson’s last one, which was terrible considering how great of a teacher and competitor he is. I’ve got a better handle on the internets so I told him I’d help out. Anyone who can go to this and doesn’t is seriously making a mistake. I’m going to try to make it to this seminar, and I think a couple of my training partners will too. I’d kill to take a private with Robson too.
I was talking to Leo Kirby, the head BJJ instructor, and he told me about the last time he trained with Robson. He said he’d always heard people talk about being “non-attribute based”, but this was the first time he’d ever really felt or seen it. He watched Robson kill everyone in the class with zero exertion—a totally effortless game. Leo said, “He’s one of these amazing black belts everyone hears about but no one sees.” He also told me that Robson is the one of the only people besides Marcelo Garcia that he’d really love to train under, which is saying a lot considering that Leo is running the first ever Marcelo Garcia affiliate.

I wish I lived in South Florida…..that is NOT an opportunity to be passed up, you’re exactly right, and if people are curious as to exactly who this guy is, his resume of titles speaks volumes. He is considered a phenom….He just recently won the Pan-Ams & the Grapplers Quest West Pro Division (where by the way, he subbed all 3 of his renowned opponents), and he’ll be @ the Mundials in Cali this weekend.
My apologies for the rambling, but in April, I had a Private Lesson with him in Arizona @ Gustavo Dantas’s school in Tempe, and it was awesome.
He showed me some of his 1/2-X guard transitions, similar to what has been posted in Aesopian’s Archive. He also showed at least 3 versions or 3 escapes to each problem that I mentioned I was having!! There were Side Control/Reverse Scarf escapes, and the Triangle Escapes were awesome. His armbar transitions are cool too….The bottom line is GO!!
