ZenQuest recently played host to Demian Maia protégé Silvio Moraes. Silvio provided two incredible seminars, and assisted with a couple of classes during his stay! On Saturday, October 24, twenty-five students participated in an open seminar for ALL levels. Professor Moraes impressed the crowd from the very beginning by having them warm up with some fun games related to establishing grips and footwork for grappling. Then Silvio got into some really great strategies for both Gi and No-Gi. At the conclusion of the clinic some promotion were awarded, including: Tyler Miller to his 2nd stripe, Matt Anish and Keith Sansoucy to their 3rd stripe, and Jedd Hall to his 1st stripe brown belt Also, Karen Bienia won a UFC-Demian Maia action figure...autographed and sent by the man himself.
On Sunday, October 25, Professor Silvio ran an advanced clinic for students at Blue Belt and above. The participants were blown away as the format consisted of Silvio asking the students to show him any strategy that they chose, and he provided important details and improvements for each situation that they could come up with! Later that day Silvio began the long journey home to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Special thanks to Professor Silvio Moraes for bringing some amazing instruction to ZenQuest this time. Thanks, too, to everyone who came out to support the events. We’re looking forward to seeing Silvio again soon!
