Beach Wrestling Training at Casa de Luta Saarbrücken

Due to the nice weather in Germany for the summer, we have decided every Monday to hold our Freestyle Wrestling sessions outdoors, in a sandy area.

The rules of beach wrestling are pretty simple. The first wrestler to three points wins. The matches take place on the beach in a seven meter diameter circle and one point is awarded for a takedown or a pushout. If there is a feet to back takedown, then two points are awarded.

So why should you try beach wrestling? Well first off, it is a great way to get more experience in a fun way. Because you are in the sand, most wrestlers aren’t doing a lot of takedowns that would require their faces to be in the sand, so there is a lot of upper body throws and set ups done. This will force you to broaden your avenue of attacks and this will hopefully will make you a better wrestler out on the mat. Plus the matches are only three minutes long so you don’t need to be in great shape to compete.

Another reason you should try out beach wrestling is because it is fun. In the sport of wrestling, it is easy to always think about working hard, accomplishing goals, and winning matches, and all of that is very important, but one thing that can sometimes be lost in all of that is the fun aspect of wrestling.

Beach wrestling is a good way to get out of the wrestling rooms and gymnasiums and have fun at the beach doing something you already love to do. You can pretty much guarantee that whenever two or more wrestlers are at the beach there are already matches going down in the sand, this just gives it official rules and gives you more opponents, and when it is all over, you get to go jump in the water to cool off.

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
