I met you at Marcelo Garcia’s school and shared with you the quote “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” Abraham Lincoln. Here it is cited: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/a/abrahamlin109275.html and I found it on this BJJ blog http://theacademy.typepad.com/the_academy/2010/02/qu-1.html. Anyway enjoy the quotes, great training and thanks for showing me those half guard sweeps!

Really nice videos and descriptions. I am surprised you didn’t do a video for the hip bump sweep.
