Like it or not, the berimbolo is one of the most clever ways to avoid the dangers of trying to pass the guard.
With a spin under the opponent you get right to his/her back.
When it works, it’s a thing of beauty.
But what if it doesn’t work for you?
Black belt Leo D’Avila came up with a variation to the berimbolo for people like him, with short legs.
Here, there’s no need for the De La Riva hook and also you roll over your opponent’s leg instead of under it.
Take a look in the video and see if it’s good for your game.
