Mraz Avdoyan trains every Saturday at Casa De Luta Saarbrücken

Abel Simon (abelbjj) and Meraz Avdoyan

Mraz Avdoyan was born in Armenia and his ethnicity is Yezidi. 2019 ADCC European Champion and current Ares Fighting Championship Fighter, lives in Kaiserslautern, Germany and grapples at Matrix BJJ Kaiserlautern with Rene Becker and MMA coach Tabeth Aga. Every Saturday Meraz visits Casa De Luta Saarbrücken to complete his trainings and preparation for his upcoming fights with Abel Simon (abelbjj). However, he was 20 when he first started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and mentions his entry into the world of grappling: “Once I met a bodybuilder guy with my friend in our gym. He talked about BJJ, and I thought it is something like Aikido. So we got into a bet with my mate. He said if I will do more chin ups you go to try BJJ. So l lost the bet and went to try it. And after I got to BJJ class, I got tapped by a small guy who was my coach. So, I decided to stay and try to tap him. So, from this I ended up in BJJ”.

His favourite positions in BJJ are the half guard when playing on the bottom and uses the sumi gaeshi shoulder crunch sweep to get to the top, amd his favourite submission is from the crucifix position. Typically competing at 97.9KG, Avdoyan made a name for himself at the ADCC European Trials where he achieved the gold medal in 2019 and says he learnt his old school style at his gym in Germany.

Mraz has a background in Rugby and talked about the reason why Rugby players may not always translate to grapplers even with some similarities, he says “I played professional Rugby in the Russian federation Junior Team and for the German professional adults. Because Rugby is a group team sport and grappling is one man fight”

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
