Back in 2015 I had a five day trip to Amsterdam during July. As of every trip I make I visited a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school to train and my pick was Marcos Flexa from Carlson Gracie team. I trained for 4 days and I had an amazing experience. Marcos is 5th degree blackbelt and has 2 blackbelt students of his helping with the school. I still use the techniques I got shown in this period with great success. Techniques like armdrag from standing or guard to the back or on top as well as transitions from north south and side control to mount position using rib-crushing pressure.
Also this is where I met my brother Alex Pereira. Alex was purple belt at the time and european medalist at only 21 years old.At the time he was staying in the dogo sleeping on the mats since he was living just for few months in Amsterdam to help and obtain knowledge from Marcos Flexa. He showed me great concepts and techniques and later on he visited me to Greece for some more training.Alex is now brown belt with his own school in Portugal, Carlson Gracie Peniche.
