Un excelent interviu a acordat Keenan Cornelius pentru grapplearts.com
“In Maryland, we were trained with two really hard training sessions per day with one smaller, lighter drilling-only session in the middle of the day. So it’d be like 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. or 2:00 p.m. and then we come back at 8:30 p.m. and then train to 10:30 p.m. or 11:00 p.m. or 11:30 p.m. depending on the night.”
“I pretty much do gi year round except for the couple months before No Gi Worlds and then I do pretty much pure no gi. So probably for 80% to 90% of the year I’m in the gi and then the rest I’m training no gi.”
“In 2012, I had over 130 matches at purple belt. I lost once to a guy in Abu Dhabi.
And at brown belt so far I’m undefeated while facing other brown belts.”

I trained for five years before I actually medaled at an IBJJF Tournament. I lost in the first and second round in all these tournaments and then, at a certain point, something just clicked and I started winning. I went from not winning at all, to winning double gold in all these tournaments.
