Tók mér það bessaleyfi að copera texta sem John Kavanagh setti á spjallið sitt. Ekki amarlegur vitnisburður þetta fyrir Gunna:
I’ve said it before; Gunni has the best understanding of jits I’ve ever seen. Just watched all the matches there, brilliant. Everything based around posture and timing. Guys wanting to learn ‘new techniques’ would do well to study those matches and try finding a complicated move. There’s nothing there that an average blue belt wouldn’t know…just done a LOT better than the average blue belt. All his movements slow and methodical with perfect timing and excellent posture - very ricksonesque
Scary to think he's actually only wearing a Gi about 6mths …then goes and wins the Pan Ams at brown belt level. I think Gunni is training 3,5 yrs total now, most of it rolling around with beginners in Iceland. I would rate this as a greater achievement than BJ Penn winning the Mundials at black belt after 3yrs because: 1. BJ was training fulltime with team of excellent competition players from the start (Ralph Gracie school) and 2. The standard of jits has shot up over the last few years.
