Yeah they basically just do the berimbolo.. But it has proven to be extremely efficient.
They've switched it up at black belt man. I've seen Joao play the top in gi and nogi, they're pretty damn good at passing and finishing from the top. The 'bolo stuff is for sure their a-game, but they honestly are good at just about everything.
Those boys epitomise what's wrong with Bjj today. Buchecha and rodolfo show that it is possible to combine old school and new school and show what a balanced fighter looks like.
You realize no one at their weight fights like Rodolfo, right? You're dealing with a very different size/power ratio at lower weights which change the technique set that works significantly. The berimbolo became popular because it was almost impossible for small guys to pass the guards of other small guys so they started going directly to the back. The Miyaos are far from the only really small guys to rely almost completely on the guard and back attacks, it's not like Caio Terra or Bruno Malfacine are monster guard passers either. Gui Mendes is about the only guy that small who plays on top with success, and he's hardly allergic to berimbolos and double guard pulls.

I'm saying that in the tournaments they basically just do berimbolo, I'm not saying that they are limited to JUST do the berimbolo. You won't see Roger doing any DLR guard in competition. Why? Because it's not his A game. With the Miyaos it's the same thing.

Yes, after sweeping from the berimbolo. I believe you understood what I'm saying. I would be retarded to think that they do ONLY berimbolo. I'm not saying that they literally JUST do berimbolo, I'm saying that they do it 90% of the time. Its OBVIOUS that they pass guard in competition.Except the Miyao's have passed guard in competition(and it's not something new, they don't do it often but they've been doing it since at least purple belt).
come up with a better solution to win the metagame? Or just keep calling proven techniques gay? one of these will help identify a useful solution
