Evolution as fighting style in Casa de Luta Mixed Martial Arts Saarbrücken


At Casa de Luta Saarbrücken we continue to work day by day on our wrestling with effort and dedication. A totally new discipline for us coming from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, where normally most of our game starts in guard

Wrestling is very interesting to learn, and with many similarities in concepts and technique with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. A hard art that requires a lot of strength, coordination, explosiveness and great timing. 

Having in our ranks coaches of the stature of Jurij Kohl (former Greco Roman Olympic wrestler), Lucas Gugnon (National Judo Champion) and Noah Gugnon (Active Freestyle wrestler) with numerous victories behind him, there is no chance that our standup game will not improve or become dangerous.

At Casa de Luta Saarbücken we do not limit ourselves to train what we have already learned as coaches, we always look beyond, without closing our minds, and always trying to improve our game to what it is today in competitions. We don't let our fighting style become obsolete or old, we always try to be at the latest with every technique or game style.

For us it is very important if you want to be in the top during the competition. The Grappling scene evolves very fast, practically every second, with new techniques, moves, plans... It is not an art where once you get your black belt it's over, as it happens in other disciplines. Grappling in general never ends, it is always in constant evolution, and that is the beauty of this traditional and ancient art. 

After more than 20 years of training, I still feel that I know very little, practically nothing, and that is what motivates me to continue studying, learning and improving day by day. To seek the perfection of an endless art, to teach as much as possible to my students, so that they continue with the tradition, the study, the learning, just as I do. 

The Mission: Together, try to find out the total solution of this gigantic puzzle of endless pieces, a puzzle of diverse solutions and infinity of positions.

Like life itself, discovering and investigating a universe where the vacuum does not oscillate to see, where there are thousands of galaxies to discover, and that from each human being, depending on where you observe it from, the vision will be totally different.

I like to say that Grappling is an image, an expression, a feeling projected from our mind at that moment, from our being; Depending on how we feel, how we understand, how we imagine or believe that it is, so we will materialize it. So depending on how we feel at that moment or how we believe that moment should be, this is how we will project it during the fight.

In my way of seeing, our mind is like a small universe, where each one of us has and lives his own. A universe of light and full of darkness, which expands, and where searching, analyzing and understanding, find the light! Is part of our mission.

 That is why it is often difficult for others to understand, or sometimes totally incomprehensible, as it happens with grappling. How many times have you asked yourself, how did he do it, how is it possible? I don't understand! It does not work, it does not work for me.

Each one of us lives our own experiences, our own feelings, our own situations, our own emotions. And that is the beauty of our being combined with the art of fighting. Remember, Grappling It is a physical expression of yourself. 

Depending on how you feel, what you believe, what you understand, this is how your fighting style will show up. And that is why the understanding of our mind is so linked to the understanding of our fighting system. There is a physical part in it, but the most important is the mental one, the spiritual, the knowledge and self-discovery of oneself is what really matters. And it is the one that will really help you in the progress of your fighting style.

Know yourself, discover, understand, experience and show it without shame. Your expression of who you are and what you believe will be shown to everyone transformed into Grappling.

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
