Surfing the internet, I have found a nice Martial Arts Manga which also envolves some BJJ Aspects.
You can find the manga under the following link All around Meguru Manga . I haven't had the time to start from the beginning, but hope I will find the time to do so in the near future.
Further more I have discovered a new BJJ related podcast which is called the "Just the Gi Top Podcast", they regularly interview current players and talk about their training regime. I am going to download the Gianni Grippo episode right now and I am quite curious about this podcast and what Gianni has to tell.
I personally caught up with Gianni at the CSA.dk and BJJGlobetrotter summer camp and also had the chance to roll with him for a bit. Surely I got crushed, but it was a super nice experience and I am still using one of his over under passes, which he showed in my open guard passing game. I am following Gianni since his purple belt days and hope to catch up with him again during my NYC stay and hope to get a private or two with him.
Hey everybody,
It has been a long time since my last post and I am happy to tell you guys, that I have been finally promoted to blue belt after 2,5 years of sometimes less but in the last month more and consistent training. The blue belt was given to me by Christian Graugart who organized the CSA Summer Camp at his gym in Denmark.
As I was allready registred for the IBJJF Rome Open at Adult/White/Feather, I now swichted up to Master/Blue/Light so I dont have to cut the missing 4 kg in the next two weeks ;). I see this tournament as good experience for me, to have my first IBJJF tourney in my pocket and see how things are done there. I don't expect to much success as I am pretty new at this belt level, but I am definitly looking forward to the good experience this will give me.
Further more, I am going to change this blog a little bit and tell you guys more about my training etc.
My next big goal will be the IBJJF European Open next year!
I recently also started to write for the new and upcoming website BJJ.EU which as site dedicated to European BJJ News and articles. The site also has a forum running so you might wanna check that out if you need some help or have a question.
I focused mostly on doing interviews with European BJJ players and doing some info posts about tournaments which I participated in so far you can check out the following interviews:
A journey to jiu-jitsu greatness with Thomas "Mastwo Oyarzun"
Living the dream with Stuart Cooper
No Ape Shit with Daniel "The Raspberry Ape" Strauss
I have ligned up and also sent out questions to the following guys:
- Luciana Machado - Owner of MKimonos
- Rob Staples - Instructor at Gracie Barra Chanel Islands
- Nic Greogoriades - founder of jiu-jitsu Brotherhood
- Oliver Geddes - guess I dont need to tell you who he is...
This is also why I slowed down my posting frequency over here, but I want to step it up again and get back to regularly posting mainly about my training. I am currently preparing for some big Tournaments over here in Europe which will be the Naga in Mai, IBJJF Rome Open in June and the Grapplers Quest Amsterdam in August. You can also expect some post from the CSA/BJJ Globetrotter summer camp in June - which is going to be a blast...
I will also do some Gi Reviews in the near future as I bought me some new gis to satisfy my gi addiction ;)
