50/50: Renato Tavares’ answer
ATT Vero Beach teacher shows escape from controversial guard

The subject of a special report in GRACIEMAG 150, the 50/50 guard is beginning to be unraveled by Jiu-Jitsu’s elite. Keeping close watch of the controversy, Renato Tavares, the teacher at American Top Team Vero Beach, wasted no time and sent in a message to the GRACIEMAG.com newsroom.

“I made a video of the 50/50 position. I can’t miss the chance to show it first. The idea behind the position is to get out of knot it’s become, to get out of what appears to be stalling. Everyone’s talking about it, but nobody has shown the solution. I made my DCD with 14 moves n top and bottom three weeks ago, and three weeks from now it will be on the market,” Renato announces.

Unaware the black belt already had a solution to the enigma, Fabio Gurgel and the gang from Alliance also prepared an antidote and showed it to GRACIEMAG.com. The result will be published over the weekend.
