This article covers #2 for jiu jitsu
Andris Brunovskis is one of top gi players in the world, with a unique and submission-oriented style that captivates the imagination. With multiple placements at prestigious events such as the IBJJF European Open Championships, Brunovskis is always in the mix to win any event he enters.
As one of the first Europeans to burst upon the Brazilian jiu-jitsu scene, Brunovskis has developed a cult-like following within the Brazilian jiu-jitsu community. A black belt under Andre Galvao, Brunovskis implemented his unique game on a myriad of opponents, winning the IBJJF World Championships at both blue and purple belt.
Some of Brunovskis’ most notable techniques are uncommon in the modern metagame, as he has gained notoriety for his implementation of worm guard, stack passing, and of course, the omoplata.
Brunovskis was selected by Keenan Cornelius, the innovator of the worm guard system, to be the assistant head coach at Cornelius’ academy. It is no surprise, therefore, that Brunovskis has a phenomenal understanding of how to implement worm guard against opponents.
Whereas Cornelius almost exclusively uses his opponent’s lapel to enact worm guard, Brunovskis uses both the belt of his opponent and his lapel. While obtaining and using the lapel worm guard is more secure and allows you to break your opponent’s posture down, the belt worm guard variation is much easier to obtain, and allows greater freedom of movement.
