Lesnar and Comprido in cell phone snapshot so there is no delay in the news reaching GRACIEMAG.com readers

This end of the year, all anyone is talking about is presents, travel, and Brock Lesnar vs. Alistair Overeem.

Thus, GRACIEMAG.com got on the radio and called up one of Lesnar’s coaches, Rodrigo “Comprido” Medeiros, between training sessions with the heavyweight who drew new fans to the UFC in droves.

During the conversation, Comprido came off as being sincerely optimistic about the outcome of the UFC 141 main event and touched on the shape the former champion will be in when he steps into the octagon this coming 30th in Las Vegas.

“Brock is in great shape. Undergoing surgery was the best decision he could have made. I believe we’ll be seeing Brock at full potential for the first time,” Comprido told reporter Nalty Junior.

“I’m truly excited about this fight. They’re two giants, two monsters on a collision course—I don’t think I’ve ever seen two guys as big and skillful as they are. If Alistair isn’t 100%, he’d best not show up, because Brock is super well prepared; I guarantee it,” added Comprido.

What about you, astute reader? Who’s going to end up on the right side of this train wreck?

What is the Intensive Personal Training Program?

The Intensive Personal Training Program (IPTP) is the most superior method of obtaining specialized instruction available today. Hands down, there is no other way to rapidly improve your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu game than our IPTP. Unmatched in intensity, depth, and quality; an IPTP will bring you, your team, or your academy to the next level -- GUARANTEED!

What makes an IPTP different?

Typically, private training is expensive, and the instructor does not know your weaknesses and strong points. In an IPTP, our "world champion class" Black Belts spend a serious length of time with you, analyzing your game and developing the best plan of action to make you rapidly improve. An IPTP is much more than a simple private lesson; it is a "system" developed by the best champions in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu -- the same system that "supercharges" our game. 

How does it work?

First; we come to you and we come for a one week period. All of the classes are extremely personalized. All of the participants are observed and analyzed relative to strengths and weaknesses in their Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills. Then, an individualized program is developed to capitalize on the strengths and eliminate the weak areas. All of our training is available in English, Portuguese or Spanish. Private sessions are also available -- and since we will know everyone's game, the private sessions are INTENSE!

What do people say about IPTP training?

Here are a few comments from people we have trained:

"IPTPs are phenomenal, the level of material combined with the unique teaching abilities of Felipe Costa are unmatched. If you don't take the opportunity to train with these guys, you are missing out."
