Mo’ Jiu-Jitsu Drawings

My “triangle choke” Stranger cover will appear in a few weeks – serious! In the meanwhile, more sketches…

Darren pointed out that there is a big BJJ gathering in a couple of weeks. (Hopefully my Stranger cover will coincide with that!) A few world champions will be there, including Fabiana Borges, and he suggested I look her up. (Actually, I’d asked if she has an awesome Brazilian accent and he directed me to an entrevista (interview) but I watched a couple of her bouts, too.)

She uses the same technique in both videos: leaps at her opponent and gets in full guard, and works her legs up to a choke. Expedient! Both times it took her about a minute.
