Third Day Team Convention Pound for Pound / Carlson Gracie (Sergio Zimmermann Seminar & Promotion Day)

 


Sadly the last day of the Team Convention Pound for Pound / Carlson Gracie in Munich, Saarbrücken, has arrived. At 09:00 in the morning the seminar started with our Headcoach Sergio Zimmermann "Canudo". Once we arrived there punctually, we first thanked all the attendees, then we were lined up in order of graduation, and after a few good words from Sergio Canudo and Carlson Gracie, the surprises arrived. Our Head Coach and one of the creators of the Pound for Pound team, Sergio Zimmermann "Canudo", pulled out a brown belt hidden in his kimono, and called our Women's Only Coach, Katrin Welker, to hand over the belt. A surprise she had not expected at any time, so she reacted excitedly and with great happiness. After that, came my moment, Abelbjj where after six years as brown belt I had the great honor to be graduated by Sergio Zimmermann "Canudo" and together with Carlson Gracie to black belt, an indescribable surprise and feeling. After the celebration, we went straight to what we came to learn from the hands of our Headcoach, a seminar where we work from closed guard to spider guard, and from there sweeps and attacks. A lot of super important details, of which one is sometimes surprised not to have been able to find on one's own. After the two hour seminar, we went straight to the Open Mat, where I had the honor and pleasure of rolling with some of the black belts present.

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
