Master Fabio Santos is one of the few Red and Black Belts in the entire world and has been training for over 35 years. He trained under Rolls Gracie and eventually received his black belt after years of training with Rickson Gracie. It's just so amazing to learn techniques from someone who has such a direct lineage.
In part two of the series, he starts by showing how to finish your double legs if they counter with a body lock. Next, he takes things to the ground and shows a surprising submission when you get locked in someone's closed guard. This is a really awesome wrist lock that takes a bad situation for you and turns it into a win!
Here are just a few of his accomplishments, but he really is a part of BJJ history.
International Masters & Seniors Champion (2000 Senior 2)
Pan American Champion (1996 Senior, 2004 Senior 3)
US Open Champion (2003 Masters)
Black Belt Pro-Am Superfight Champion (2003)
