Camp Training with Eoghan O’Flanagan in June at Casa De Luta MMA Saarbrücken

Eoghan O’Flanagan is the best grappler in Europe and 5th best in the world in the under 88kg division. As co-founder and co-head coach of the Submission Grappling Club, he brings over 20 years of grappling experience and over 10 years of teaching experience.

Eoghan is most known globally for having competed and coming 4th in the world in the biggest grappling show of all time, ADCC 2022 (equivalent to the Olympics for BJJ).

He had a “breakout performance” and was touted as an “ADCC standout competitor”, which marked him as the best-performing English male competitor of all time.

Eoghan made history by being only the second European athlete to make it to the semifinals and the first English athlete to make it past the 1st round in the male division.

This followed another standout performance at the ADCC European Trials in 2021, where Eoghan won all 5 of his matches with submissions.

Eoghan’s grappling career started with traditional martial arts. He started training in Judo at the age of 4 and he was actively competing in children’s tournaments. He transitioned to submission wrestling and no-gi training in both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo when he went to Cardiff University to study Economics.

In 2017, following the completion of his degree and at the age of 22, he was awarded his black belt by the highly respected Helio Soneca.

Eoghan has been teaching at a variety of different locations across London and Cardiff for over a decade. He has also been frequently teaching seminars and private classes across Europe.

Ranked #5 grappler under 88kg in the world by FloGrappling in 2022
4th at the ADCC World Championship 2022

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
