So, here's the story about this video. I first saw a clip of Leo Vieira doing this crazy in the Laimon's Remix tapes. I had no idea how or what he was doing. So, in a seminar I attended in Atlanta Georgia at the Alliance Academy, I scored a private lesson with Leo Vieira and of course had to ask him what the heck this move was. Basically he explains in the video (Sorry for the low audio) that this was a lasso sweep that he learned, from one of the kids in his classes. The lasso guard bjj sweep was modified to hook the opposite leg. Leo used this in training and loved the move. So, in this match, aside from his opponent being a skilled jiu jitsu competitor, he was also a judoka and known as a solid judo black belt. So, Leo being the innovator and risk taker he was than, tried this lasso sweep, knowing that his opponent would SWEEP THE LEG out which he would be standing on, giving him enough momentum to sweep him over. I told him recently people online nicknamed this the COBRA KAI Sweep and he loved it!

Leonardo Vieira, also known as Leozinho or simply Leo Vieira, is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Romero Cavalcanti, being famous for combining one of the most crowd-pleasing games in BJJ with an amazing track record. Leo Vieira was also the co-founder of important teams such as Brasa Clube de Jiu-Jitsu and Checkmat BJJ, becoming in the process one of grappling’s most important coaches by developing athletes such as Marcus Almeida ‘Buchecha’, Lucas Leite, João Assis, and many others. Leozinho is also one of the Top BJJ Competitors of All Time by BJJ Heroes.
The son of a janitor Leonardo was raised in humble conditions, starting his grappling tuition at the Academia Master with Romero Cavalcanti at the age of 6. In 1993 his Cavalcanti merged with a few of his former students from the Academia Strike to formed Team Alliance, Leo competed for this new team for many years, receiving his black belt under the Alliance banner when he was 21 years old, from the hands of his master, after winning the historic first World Championships event as a Brown Belt (1996), in a final fought against Mauricio Mariano from Gracie Barra.
The following year, his first as a black belt, Leo fought his way to the final against Marcio Feitosa in the first of many historical duels between the two. This first fight went to the Gracie Barra fighter, Feitosa, but in 1998 when the two met once again in the final, Leonardo was the victor in one of the hardest fights of the event. 1998 was the last time Leonardo won the World Championship, although he did make the final again in 1999 (losing to Royler Gracie) and placed 3rd in 2000.
His career’s highest point had not been reached however, that came in 2003 when Leonardo won the World’s most prestigious Submission Grappling title, the ADCC (Abu Dhabi Combat Club), a gold medal achieved again in 2005.
In between this period, Leozinho moved to Sao Paulo and was training under Fabio Gurgel at the Team Alliance HQ there until 2002 when a group of competitors joined up against the head coach Gurgel. Leonardo left the team together with most of the black belts that trained there. The argument (in broad strokes) was over the ‘Mundial‘ (World Championships by IBJJF federation) which occurred a week after the Copa do Mundo (World Cup). As the Copa do Mundo offered a good prize money to its competitors and the Mundial didn’t, Leonardo and his teammates felt they should support this organization (CBJJO – Confederação de Jiu Jitsu Olimpico) and compete in it, Gurgel however decided against it for reasons that were never made public. The fighters went on to fight at the ‘Copa’ and Gurgel banned them from the gym, and so Leozinho and the others formed another team, ‘Master Team’ to honor the gym where this group had started training in the 1980’s. The Master Team later became Brasa Clube de Jiu Jitsu. In 2008 Leo and his brothers decided to open another team in which they had more autonomy, this team called Checkmat.
