I was sent a link to this video by George McGinnis who owns York Mixed Martial Arts Academy. The video - which shows an amazing array of moves, one after the next - was done by Phil and Ricardo Migliarese, who run Balance Studios in Philadelphia.
Here's something George wrote:
"I found myself discussing Master Helio at my Seminar this past weekend. During which I became emotional and was forced to change subjects and carry on my roll. Many could ask how or why I find myself randomly morning for a person I have never met or spent time with. The honest truth is, I never needed to. I had the pleasure of training with his family (Renzo, Royler) and his obvious talent and passion lived vicariously through them. I always find it necessary and morally correct to pay respect when and where it is due and to appreciate the linage of the arts that we train in regardless of the style it may be. With history comes knowledge and with knowledge in fact comes the history of the individuals who are inevitably responsible for it all. Master Helio was one of those people. You have and will continue to be greatly missed Professor Helio. Thanks for contributing your life towards one of the most effective arts in the history of man kind." - George 'Phoenix' McGinnis
