cool marcello garcia interview
http://www.gracietampasouth.com/marcelo-garcia-interview/
some notes:
*started bjj/judo when was 12
*got black belt in bjj after 8 yrs
*when he was 17 he was competing about every weekend
*started training with fabio gurgel when he was brown belt, but had trained with him before because he was already in alliance
*loves training, enjoys it. thinks he loves it more than others. thinks it's the secret to his success.
*sparring most important, but you have to have an idea of what your doing, drill, etc.
*to get good fast, reccomends training as much you can. prefers not to put numbers on it, but recommends min of 2 classes per day and sparring 1 hr per class
*tips for someone who wants to be world champ: know it's not easy, do more on the mat than other people, enjoy training, train as much as you can (he had one year where he trained 4 times a day), keep wanting to train more esp if you are able to, enjoy it all
*gotta do new stuff to improve your game, do your best to master situations and reactions to it and backup plans for it
*doesn't play half guard much because lost an important tournament at brown belt because he was stuck in half guard for 8 minutes
*play your game. don't play into the other person's game and headbutt with him where he may have the advantage.
*tries to do same things gi and no gi. but of course there are a few exceptions where technique works in one but not in the other.
*don't let your opponent know if you're tired (more so in competition than with your training partners). believe you're opponent is more tired than you because it can boost your confidence.
*doesn't weight train much, doesn't enjoy it. happier to train bjj. believes being on the mat helps more. doesn't run much either. but thinks supplemental training might be helpful for someone who doesn't get to train bjj that much.
