How McGregor Used Positive Thinking To Get To The Top
Connor McGregor uses his mind and vibrational energies to manifest what is important to him:
- Victory
- Success
- Abundance
If you see it, if you can believe it, it will happen.
Part of getting to the top requires using the tool of positive thinking and visualization. Many of the greatest martial artists of all time use visualization to make things happen in their life. If you see it, and you have the courage to achieve it.....it will happen.
"Say what you are going to do and do it" - says McGregor.

Omoplata For BJJ From BJJ Spider Guard
BJJ - Half Guard X Choke & Variation For Defense
Vitor Avila shows his half guard x choke variation from his feature in Gracie Magazine. This choke is set up from the half guard and by using the lapel control of his opponent Vitor is able to attack this choke from different angles. A key detail is his shoulder pressure on the chest when he attacks the first choke. When the opponent reaches over to block the choke, Vitor makes some modifications to set up the a modified - "heard-arm traingle" - neck crank finish from the half guard.
Vitor can be found training with some of the best BJJ Fighters from around the globe and is also a proud spokesman for the BJJ4Change movement started in Milwaukee Wisconsin and expanding throughout the globe.

Step two- Transform lives
“Jiu jitsu has helped transform you, you can help transform other people!”- Chris Martin
Step three- Build A brighter future
“If you do BJJ you know how good it is. Carlos Gracie Sr. always said that he believes that if everyone in the world would practice BJJ, the world would be a much better place to live, I agree and I think we should all embrace that.”- Braulio Estima, BJJ4Change Ambassador
