Celsinho's half guard is UNIQUE. Definitely worth a private to see what it's about. Compared to the going rates on most black belt, $80 is a bargain.

Celsinho is a black belt under Gordo, the "father" of the half guard. I think traditionally half guard techniques either involve the lockdown, or as of late we've been seeing a lot of deep half guard stuff. Celsinho's main focus falls somewhere in between, obviously came up in a very classical half guard, but then went off in his own direction, not unlike the current half guards, so he has elements of both. This puts the top man in a position he probably isn't used to seeing, where Celsinho has a number of sweeps and attacks he can initiate.
I clicked expecting to read about Booker T.
