Pierre Olivier Leclerc last training session at Casa de Luta Saarbrücken on his way to the European IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu No Gi Championship 2022

 

An unexpected visit thanks to our friend and black belt Pierre Manzo. Pierre Olivier Leclerc wanted to visit Casa de Luta Saarbrücken, taking advantage of a seminar he had scheduled at Pierre Manzo's gym (Jiu Jitsu Family) France, on his European Tour, two hours away from where we are located. 



Pierre-Olivier Leclerc is a rising star in professional Jiu Jitsu, as much for his technical level as for his achievements. He evolves under the tutelage of Firas Zahabi and John Danaher. He currently trains at B-Team Jiu Jitsu, Austin (Texas). Built by some of the most talented grapplers to ever compete: Craig Jones, Ethan Crelinsten, Nicky Ryan and Nick Rodriguez.

Over the years, he has participated in many of the biggest professional tournaments around the world where he has defeated multiple black belt opponents. In recent years, Pierre-Olivier has competed and taught throughout North America and Europe.

His understanding of modern Jiu-Jitsu allows him to develop a style that is logical, systematic, and functions at a high level.

Pierre-Olivier was fortunate enough to first learn the leg lock system from John Danaher and the DDS. He then went on to master more and more of his sport, which is control leading to submission.






The level of teaching he has received, his experiences and his victories have allowed him to develop a very high level that is reflected in his performances, but also in his teaching.

IBJJF New Haven open 2022 Gold Medalist

Muchas Gracias Hermano! Oss

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
