The Most Important BJJ Lesson of My Life - The 32 Principles with Rener Gracie

 


I visited the one-and-only Rener Gracie a couple weeks ago at Gracie University in Torrance, California, and I can honestly say that this was the single most important lesson of my life, and if you watch the entire thing, you will see why. I've been doing BJJ for nearly 20 years, and I've learned thousands of specific techniques for specific situations, but I always felt BJJ was way more complicated than it needed to be. As a black belt who has competed at the highest level, I always felt that there were a set of core principles that make everything work in jiu-jitsu, but I never knew exactly what they were, until now. In their new course, The 32 Principles of Jiu-Jitsu, Rener and Ryron Gracie have created a roadmap that allows anyone to learn the 32 "micro principles" that are the foundation of all the techniques in BJJ. Like me, I believe that most black belts rely on these principles every day without knowing exactly what they are. Once you learn all 32, you will be able to "see through the fluff" in BJJ and understand the art for what it really is: a relatively small number of simple, timeless concepts and core principles that enable us to overcome obstacles and achieve victory with maximum efficiency. One of the best parts about this course is that Ryron and Rener are so fun to watch. They have a unique way of explaining BJJ so that literally anyone can understand. The combination of unmatched synergy along with the natural brotherly banter between the two makes it so entertaining to watch, and when you’ve got over 17 hours of content to learn from this can make a huge difference. Whether you’re a white belt student, a black belt instructor, or anyone in between, this is the most universally impactful course we’ve ever seen produced for BJJ, and we can't wait to share it with you.

Pierre Manzo and Arthur Leroy from Jiu Jitsu Family at Casa de Luta Saarbrücken

  Yesterday, Saturday, we had the visit of our brother and good friend, Pierre Manzo , black belt under Robert Drysdale , and Head Coach at Jiu Jitsu Family. Along with him, one of his students, a talented 20 year old monster, who has been training already, in teams like the B-Team in Texas with Craig Jones, Nick Rodriguez, Nicky Ryan, Oliver Taza, etc..    The Open Mat started as usual at Casa de Luta Saarbrücken at 11:00, where every team is welcome and completely free of charge. Pierre and I got together for more than an hour where we were able to kill each other and exchange knowledge during the rolls, as well as help him with the mechanics of some of my leglocks. I also had the opportunity to roll with Arthur, Pierre's talented young student, a very technical guy with great precision on his attacks, with very good guard passes to back take, dangerous! Very dangerous. So I had to be careful with my leg attacks, avoiding at all times exposing my back by actively changing positi

BJJ SAARBRÜCKEN: Trivium’s Matt Heafy “BJJ is a way of life”

  Matt Kiichi Heafy  is one the many rock stars bitten by the Brazilian jiu-jitsu bug. The 31-year-old lead singer and guitarist for the heavy metal band Trivium has been training BJJ since 2013 (ten years after the band’s first album), and he has developed such a fondness for the Gracie art that he brings a trainer and a set of mats around with him on tour. Even if you’re not a heavy metal fan, you’re probably familiar with Matt Heafy. Last year, our very own Emil Fischer  sat down with him  to talk about his love of Brazil’s soft art. Yesterday afternoon, Emil once again sat down with Heafy, who’s now a two-stripe purple belt. This time, though, I had the pleasure of joining in. The three of us talked about leg locks and Heafy’s love for Eddie Cummings’ style, a style which Matt sadly feels he has inadequately replicated. He even went so far as to apologize to Cummings for it. He also found out that for Matt Heafy, the saying “BJJ is a way of life” is more than just a cliche.  Brazil
