Lucas Leite

We've just heard the news today from our fantastic instructor, Chico Mendes, that he has managed to convince multi time World Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Champion, Lucas Leite to come and do a seminar for us out here in the West Country. I cannot emphasize how massive this is. Lucas Leite is phenomenal. Your Bjj game will instantly improve just by being in the same room as him. I fully expect to be amazing after one session under his awesome tutelage.

Lucas Leite's credentials include:

2x World Champion (2007, 2005)
2x World Nogi Champion (2009, 2011)
3x Pan American Champion (2012, 2009, 2007)
3x Grapplers Quest Pro Division 1st Place (Del Mar 2009, 2007)
Sao Paulo State Champion (2006)
European Champion (2006)
World Silver Medallist (2011)
World Pro Cup Silver Medallist (2012)
Pan American Silver Medallist (2011)
World Bronze Medallist (2012)

 

And here's a pretty cool highlight vid of Lucas in action.

 He is well recognised as being one of the best practitioners of the Half Guard in the world and given my current leanings towards learning Half Guard I think this could well be one of the most useful seminars I've attended (trusting he goes with Half Guard as his subject). Can't wait. ¬m/
