The Cobrinha Experience in Korea

On July 9th, our Grand Master Cobrinha came to Korea to have his 3rd seminar whichwas held in Action Reaction Korean Branch of Alliance Team. Everytime I see him, I can see that he's not just a 4 time big name world champion but a humble, respectful man with a warm heart. I think that is the reason why everyone respects him.




"Never let things happen, make them happen." -Cobrinha-


On the first day of the seminar, we were learning lots of new moves that were very practical. Master Cobrinha was emphasizing how important applied pressure is while explaining the moves.


At the end of the seminar, we went over the moves that we learned and Master Cobrinha kindly sparred with everyone in the gym. Everyone was happy with the seminar and they were already anticipating the next one lol.

The second seminar was held in Sam San World Gymnasium on the 10th of July. Before we started it, Master Cobrinha surprised Master Kang by giving him a black belt. Master Cobrinha announced that Master Kang deserves it because of his great effort and passion for Jiu-jitsu and also being a great athlete who constantly participated in the tournament.


Master Cobrinha focused on attacking from sitting guard and most of the moves were very new to us. I mean we knew the moves but the details that he gave to us made the move completely different compare to the moves we knew.



If you see him sparring in front of you, you'll be amazed by how smooth his moves are.


At the end of the seminar we had a Q&A time with the grand master andI really thought it was a valuable time. He was sharing all of his philosophy in Jiu-jitsu with everyone and I was very inspired by it.


"We have to submit the opponent in jiu-jitsu. That is the ultimate goal of jiu-jitsu. Life is the same! If you can't finish or solve the problems that you are facing in your life, those problems will become worse in the end." -Cobrinha-
