Learn from Legends: http://www.legendarystriking.com Pedro Sauer is one of the original Brazilian Jiujitsu pioneers in America. He learned his BJJ from Rickson Gracie as he was his best friend, but also had a taekwondo and boxing training background. One year before UFC 1 spotlighted BJJ, 250 lbs Mr. Utah (Lance Batchelor) with wrestling background would challenge Pedro Sauer (150 lbs) to a fight. Pedro accepted, and managed only to get hit once. Throughout the fight he showed that skill can defeat size and strength. In the match, he used beautiful side kicks, intercepting punches, butterfly sweeps, and arm bar. The principles he used to defend himself are very sound and something that everyone can learn from, both on the feet and on the ground. After the defeat, Mr. Utah would later on become a student at Pedro's school. Pedro would go on to be one of the most respected BJJ coaches in US history. I will be featuring time tested techniques used by legendary strikers around the world, including a long feature on side kicks and the side stance.
