Signature Moments
The Other Half of the Berimbolo Revolution
Paulo Miyao, twin brother of Joao, was equally responsible for the berimbolo revolution that changed competitive BJJ. Together, they forced the entire sport to develop new defensive systems. Paulo's guard retention and back-take ability were virtually identical to his brother's — and equally unstoppable.
The twin engine of the berimbolo revolution. Paulo and Joao together forced the entire sport to evolve or lose.
