a student come by and my uncle was not arrive yet.
So he said for the students, mister, if you want to practice a little bit, I can play dummy for you.
I can just be here sparring for a little while until my brother arrives.
I said, oh, I love to do that, kid.
Let's go.
So my dad engage with the guy, start to practice and stuff.
Half hour later, my uncle arrives.
And the student said to my uncle, he said, Carlos, if you don't mind, I'd love to keep training with your younger brother because he's so talented.
He's so good.
I love him.
And that engaged himself in the practice.
But different than normal persons, the choke, for example, was done choking somebody using the arms.
He could not do one pull-up.
He could not do one push-up.
So he's weak.
So instead of using...
power from the arms, he developed power from the chest, which comes much more leverage and minimizing the real muscle effort and gives more strength on the leverage of the action.
So he start to adapt to himself for the jiu-jitsu he learned.
And we compare Elio Gracie to jiu-jitsu as Einstein to physics.
He was inventor.
