Both Paulo and Joao Miyao came out on top of their
respective divisions at the ACB JJ 6 Grand Prix in Moscow recently.
Joao faced Isaac Doederlein in the finals of the 60 kg
division. The match involved a lot of Miyao’s infamous guard, which Doederlein
fought to pass. Although Miyao was able to get to his opponent’s back, he was
unable to finish the submission. When it was all over, though, the greater
number of points that he’d earned over the five-round match made him the 60-kg
champion.
His brother, Paulo, faced an even greater challenge in
the 65-kg bracket after having seriously injured his foot in his first match
against Osvaldo “Queixinho” Moizinho. After fighting through (and for) numerous
footlocks in his semifinal match against Augusto “Tanquinho” Mendes, he was
able to win by points and advance to the finals against Gabriel Marangoni. Like
his brother Joao, Paulo spent a lot of time in guard, attempting footlocks
against Marangoni and earning points through sweeps. Eventually, Miyao was able
to take his opponent’s back and finish a choke, making him the 55-kg champion.
