The reigning king of the grappling world is set to make his MMA debut in April. Braulio Estima, who won both the absolute division and the 88kg division at last summer's Abu Dhabi grappling tournament, has signed with Shine Fights and will compete on their upcoming April card.
At the ADCCs, Estima submitted such grappling legends as Marcelo Garcia and Xande Ribeiro en-route to winning gold in two divisions. Sources indicate Estima's debut will be at a catchweight between 170 and 185 lbs.

Um, videos, transcripts, diagrams, stick figure paintings in MS Paint. Please, thanks.
Also, make sure you ask him at least 1 question for yourself and on your game, that’s the best advice I can ever give on seminars, speak up and ask 1 and only 1 question, just make sure it’s the question you really want the answer for as far as technique.
Also I’m jealous :(, very very jealous.

Watch some of his grappling matches, his guard work is really really great.
