Submission 1000 is the mini-no-gi grappling event that takes part within the MMA tournament known as the Lockdown Fighting Championships. The forthcoming event, held at the Liquid and Envy Nightclub in Stevenage on the 2nd July promises to be even more thrilling than the first!
Henrique Santana is a Brazilian BJJ black belt who has been living and teaching in the UK for several years. Actually I first met Henrique back in the day when I first began BJJ, he was a purple belt then and me, a lowly white belt. It's nice to watch how Henrique's career has progressed as he is a fearless fighter and happy to take on any style be it MMA, no-gi or gi. I asked Henrique for his thoughts on the Submission 1000 event in July...
