Nino Schembri vs Ze Marcello Brasileiro Jiu Jitsu 1997 🙏🙏PLEASE BE KIND & SUBSCRIBE to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/riccardoammendoliabjj One of the most exciting grapplers to have ever stepped on a mat, Antonio Schembri also known as ‘Nino’ Schembri is a jiu jitsu black belt under Carlos Gracie Junior, who blasted into the BJJ scene in the mid 1990’s competing for the Gracie Barra academy. Nino Schembri quickly made a name for himself as the king of the omoplata, a game he developed making better use of his highly flexible and offensive guard game, being also one of the first grapplers recorded using the ‘lasso guard’ and the ‘rubber guard’. He is considered by many (BJJ Heroes included) as one of the best guard players to have ever competed in the sport. Nino is short for Antonio in Portuguese (Schembri’s first name), as for Elvis, it comes from Schembri’s love for Elvis Presley, the King of Rock n’ Roll, and the fact that he used to mimic some of the King’s dance moves in celebrating his victories. José Marcello Rodrigues, commonly known as Zé Marcello, is a well-respected jiu-jitsu black belt under Sérgio “Bolão” Souza and the co-founder of the Icon Team, one of the largest grappling affiliations in the European continent with over 100 gym affiliates. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Zé Marcello was also one of the top competitors in the sport with medals at the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) World Championships and Brazilian Nationals. #NinoSchembri #oldschoolbjj #brazilianjiujitsu #graciebarra
