Went to a seminar of his and he showed a different way to lock your legs in half guard that involves having your shin latched onto their hip! Hard to explain but it works very well and not nice for the guy you put it on, also at the end he sparred with everyone and every guy was so much bigger than caio and he smashed all of us Phone Post 3.0

I sparred with him a few months back and have to say he has the best 'small man' jiujitsu I have ever felt. To put that in perspective I have trained with most of the top guys in the lighter weights at black belt over the last couple of years. Caio was just the most extreme example of not giving resistence to me, just guiding my strength to have me put myself in bad positions by overcommitting.

He is small, tiny next to me (I am 6'4") and I easily put him on his back and drove his legs to one side to pass, but he just moved so well that my pressure just put me in a bad situation.

He epitomises the original concept of using technique to defeat strength which is why he is such a great teacher.

Saw him coaching his students at the US Open a few weeks back. It's obvious he really enjoys that. If he really is retiring I can't blame him. Seems like an awesome coch

His seminar changed my entire approach.
Not the techniques - but seeing him in person, sparring with people: he just floated on top of them, when they had any form of open guard, and he'd just effortlessly, smoothly, advance his position 'like a hot knife through butter'; seriously.

I also noticed that he repeatedly told his uke to relax, throughout the weekend, so he could feel the technique, so i've tried to take that on board (to a greater degree than before).

Have you seen his final from no gi worlds, last weekend...?
I couldn't believe how he just casually walked into Passos's guard...
