The How and Highlights of Gabriel Arges Winning the Gold Title at the 2017 IBJJF World Championships
Gabriel Arges has been chasing black belt world gold his entire life. At the IBJJF Worlds, he's no longer the underdog. He's the target. This gi match is the one he's been building toward.
Weeks before the tournament, Arges was in survival mode at Gracie Barra Northridge. Shark tanks. No breaks. Fresh partners cycling in every two minutes. Whatever needed to be done was already done by the time Saturday arrived.
He cuts through the bracket and reaches the gi final. His opponent Cnoke is trying to stay off the back, but Arges is hunting it. Both gi collars go in. The position is locked up tight and it's brutal from here.
Can Cnoke find a way to survive the collar choke before it's too late? Or is this the moment Gabriel Arges becomes a black belt world champion?
