TWIBJJ #73 with Giva "the Arm Collector" Santana

[Budo_Jake]

This was a really fun episode to film.
In the interview, Giva talks about:

-Lotus Club BJJ
-Why swearing when you get submitted or swept in class is the worst thing you can do.
-Why he prefers armbars over chokes (particularly in MMA)

In the technique section he shows a beautiful halfguard sequence.
This unique half guard has been referred to as "De la Giva" guard by his friends.

Check it and let me know what you think!

Really enjoyed this. I like how De La Giva sweeps let you keep a clinch (and an underhook) through the sweeps.
