BJJ Old School Saarbrücken reunited at Casa de Luta Saarbrücken

Today I had the opportunity to reunite with the old school, with a small part of those with whom I continued my journey in Jiu Jitsu as a blue belt, back in 2015, at the Carlson Gracie Germany. Leaving my homeland was not an easy decision, a lot of pain and sadness when one is forced to do it to survive leaving everything behind, family, friends.... Sadness, loneliness, longing, is a day to day during the first months, but I can say that thanks to Jiu Jitsu, I felt welcomed, supported and helped by a group of excellent people. Not before, of course, showing my hard work, perseverance, dedication, effort and respect. All this helped me a lot in my integration into the team and in gaining friendships that are still with me today.

Many years have passed, and dreams that seemed impossible have been fulfilled, as with the creation of Casa de Luta Saarbrücken, something that would not have been possible without the help, motivation, thrust and credibility of all those who believed in me. Here is a picture with some of them:

Katrin Welker, Deger, Thorstein, Roman Kapranov, Arthur Glöckler, Yanick Hippchen, Marvin, Leo Schuchat, Aleksey

Each one of them have played a very important role in my life and evolution in my Jiu Jitsu, besides helping me in the teaching today of every new student belonging to Casa de luta Saarbrücken. I feel honored to have such experienced fighters next to me, such a team, such a family. Fighters like Roman Kapranov, whom I consider my BJJ Professor, someone with whom I have learned and been practically demolished on the mats since my beginnings, who has seen me grow as a person and as a Jiu Jitsu practitioner, and whom I thank today for his strict training. I can say that today I am who I am thanks to their friendship and Jiu Jitsu. Love you guys!

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
