Chosen to defend the school from which small monsters of Submission graduated. Among them are  Leo Vieira and Marcelinho Garcia, the student of Fábio Gurgel, Tarsys Humphreys, hás been on the black belt for one year is training for an outstanding fight at Super Challenge Grappling.

Making use of the rules which value the attempts of submission, Tarsys reveals to be training new repertoire of attacks especially for the event which includes variations of feet and knee locks among other techniques. ‘I never liked to use it and in my opinion it should be prohibited due to the serious lesion it may cause. Similar to Mixed Martial Arts war, I will stay away from all possible weapons’, said Tarsys. As for David Avellan’s commentaries regarding Tarsys being his preference to compete with at the event, Tarsys makes an ironical statement: ‘He has the right to do it. At ADCC 2007 I got his back, applied the lion technique and he did not want to beat, ended up sleeping. Is he going to sleep again? Tarsys has been at the black belt for one year already and is affirming to be well in this category and  to be very proud of representing Alliance and his master Fábio at Super Challenge: ‘ I am the first black belt to have graduated from this category beginning with the white belt under Fábio’s training. I think the differential of Alliance is in its detail. We are very concerned with the perfection in presenting the technique. I want to end this year with my feet right at this Super Challenge and invest greatly in Jiu-Jitsu and Submission next year, replies Tarsys who using this opportunity thanked his sponsors Energy Drink, Maxx Comm, Haiti, Keiko, Bad Boy and Unica Academia.
