2019 IBJJF Curitiba Spring Open
Oct 28, 2019
Did you know?
- Across 25 recorded matchups at the 2019 IBJJF Curitiba Spring Open, points decided 15 of them while only 7 ended by submission. If you train here, this was an event where you needed to know how to win a positional battle, not just hunt finishes.
- The submission rate at this event was 28 percent, so roughly one in three finishes came from a tap. That is a useful reminder that at the Open level, controlling the match to a points lead is often the higher-percentage path.
- When submissions did land, the choke was king. The Rear Naked Choke led the recorded finishes with 2, backed by a Gi Choke From Back, a Guillotine Choke, and a Choke From Crucifix, so almost every finish was to the neck.
- Gustavo Maron and Fabio Alano both went 3-0 on record at this event, and both did it with 2 submission wins each. If you like an aggressive finishing game, those were the two to study from this bracket.
- Fernando Reis reached two finals here and came up short in both, losing to Gabriel Volante on points in the Absolute Division and to Luan Azevedo by decision in the Heavyweight final. Two golds on the line, two razor-thin losses in the same weekend.
