Mario Sperry's involvement in jiu-jitsu began at the age of 13 when he began training in jiu-jitsu at the Carlson Gracie School.
Mario Sperry is in the process of returning to full training sessions after having surgery on his right hand to correct a break that occurred during his match-up against Andrei Kopylov at Pride 22.
Unfortunately Mario Sperry may never be given this opportunity because he is a native fighter (in regards to PRIDE) who lacks the charismatic and dynamic fighting style that the Japanese fans love and that seems to be a determining factor when it comes down to which fighters will compete for the larger organizations.

 Mario Sperry - Vale Tudo 2
Mario is making it very difficult for other tape companies to put out, shall I say, less than realistic NHB fighting tapes (read this as Kukuk 2, more to come on this in a future review).
Mario then embarrasses everyone who asks this question by saying, "I don't know where you have learned jiu-jitsu." The solution to make it nearly impossible to Ump and roll is to drop you head to ground on the same side that you have your arm extended (in my example it would be your left side).
Mario moves on to cover sweeps that take you into the mount and from there he works the "cervical" which is always a fun and potential dangerous move to practice.

Mario is coming off what was not only his second loss in MMA but more importantly the most difficult fight of his career.
Not to take anything away from Mario, but Igor had those "tired eyes" when he entered the ring and it was his fifth fight that year (he fought a total of 8 fights in the span of 1 year).
I'm confident Sperry will win but even given Kopylov's untrained appearance (the guy is in a word "doughy" and looks like he should be working behind a bar in some old timer's dive on the corner) he will not go down easily.

 Bill Lewis Review: sperry3
Regardless of its origins, Mario Sperry is the guy that is teaching it on video and this the first place that I have seen the move.
Sperry states that in the past he would have concentrated on just passing the half guard and getting the mount or side control.
Mario show you how to control your opponent so that he does not escape and then proceeds to show you how to beat your opponent into a bloody pulp.

 Mario Sperry - Secrets of Submission grappling..SFUK book reviews
Basically Mario chains a whole series of moves, counters and submissions which together form a system for competing (and winning) in an Abu Dhabi rules submission wrestling event.
The main difference between these and the Vale Tudo tapes is, as he points out, you cannot set-up submissions with strikes - most of the positions and submissions are the same but the set-ups have to be altered and this is what he focuses on.
Mario's main virtue as a teacher isn't the techniques (you should know the basics already) its how to win and how to put things together.

I know some people slate Mario for not finishing, but lets be fair wins by sub are rare in Abu Dhabi and I think Mario gets just as many subs as anyone else.
Don't forget, not only is Mario undefeated at Abu Dhabi - he has never had a point scored against him.
Though like his VT series some moves will not work for you unless you are as big and strong as Mario Sperry.

 Mario Sperry
This is tape #2 from Mario Sperry’s Submission Secrets video set called “Passing the Guard”.
I do not use this baiting technique in combination with the throat grab personally but I think it seems like a relatively simple technique and would most likely not work well against experienced grapplers.
However, with that being said I am no Mario Sperry so perhaps for very high level guys this would make more sense.
