Paulo Muzy – a widely popular doctor in Brazil, recognized for his expertise in bodybuilding and nutrition – is also a BJJ purple belt…
And has received some awesome advice from none other than Gabi Garcia.
During a recent episode of the “Dos Nosso Podcast”, which is hosted by former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum, Muzy revealed the awesome advice he’d received – in particular, when it comes to using one’s strength:
She was the one who taught me how to weigh.
She turned to me and said: “Only those who aren’t heavyweights and those who don’t have strength don’t use strength, so you have to use it, so I’m going to teach you something.”
He continues:
First thing: always use your weight. Second thing: whenever you make a movement, divide it into ten steps.
Once you start, don’t stop.
You can do it slowly, but if you’re weighing him down, he won’t get anything done.That’s what she taught me.
For those who are heavy, this is true.
Gabi Garcia, now 38 years old, is considered to be one of the most successful BJJ athletes in the world – with multiple world titles and an ADCC world title to her name.
