No Holds Barred: Ricardo Liborio of American Top Team on Art of War 12
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman presents the
fourth and final show in our series reviewing the historic Art of War
12 mixed martial arts card, which we covered live from Beijing, China,
Saturday, May 23, 2009.
For this show, we had the pleasure of having a lengthy discussion with
Ricardo Liborio, the founder and head instructor of the American Top
Team (http://www.americantopteam.com/) in Coconut Creek, Florida, and
the National Coach for USA Grappling, the grappling program of USA
Wrestling (http://themat.com/). This chat took place on an airplane
headed back from China to the U.S. following Art of War 12.
Liborio has been spending a lot of time on airplanes of late, arriving
in China directly from the Netherlands, where he was part of a crowd
of about 25,000 people who witnessed the May 16 It's Showtime (http://
www.itsshowtime.nl/) kickboxing card. That card was headlined by a
fight between two of the top heavyweights in K-1, Badr Hari and Semmy
Schilt, with Hari scoring a stunning knockout of Schilt in just 45
seconds of the first round.
So on our trip back from China, we had a lot of time to discuss many
topics. We spoke of the phenomenon of the It's Showtime card and
kickboxing in Europe, and the potential of kickboxing around the world
to grow as a sport. We analyzed the Art of War 12 card, and the
potential of the Art of War Fighting Championship (http://
mmachina.com) to grow and become one of the most popular mixed martial
arts promotions in the world. We evaluated the top fighters in Art of
War, including Wu Hao Tian and Rolles Gracie, and where they stand
right now as fighters and what their potential is, and much more.
