Huge congratulations to Royler Gracie for stepping into the ring one last time against a very skilled and seasoned Masakatsu Ueda at the Amazon Forest Combat event held this past weekend.
Royler stepped into the ring against an opponent who has only seen defeat once in his career and has won his last 3 MMA matches against top players such as Rumina Sato and Eduardo Dantas.
Royler is a true warrior and champion of the Gracie Family. We at the Rosendo Diaz Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy and Team 3rd Generation wish Master Gracie all the best and look forward to his continued teachings.

The omoplata is perhaps one of the most adaptable submissions in the art of Jiu-Jitsu. It doesn’t take a great deal of flexibility to apply and is a great attack for all body types. In the following video technique demonstration you will see a basic set up for the omoplata submission as well as a variation commonly used when your opponent attempts to fight the downwards pressure. Enjoy!

This is a great video I picked up over at my friend’s site, www.kingdavidhogan.com. Check it out, it features Dana White and Mike Tyson talking about the upcoming James Toney vs Randy Couture match as well as mixed martial arts. I’ll never forget watching his fight against Michael Spinks on HBO, you just knew that Tyson had won that match even before he walked to the ring.
