Munich MMA

I have a friend who done BBJ at a very high level for years and some guy from Sweden snapped his leg during a demonstration about 14 years ago in Munich. He was so bad (can remember exactly what happened his leg) that he's still not fit to do bjj anymore. He can only run on sand and also the guy done it because he was a fucking pyscho who was known for it. Sad though because even a year after the incident the guy was still rolling. Very sad though. source, 2022 ↗

TB12 is not athletic. He wasn’t when he was drafted in the 7th, he definitely is not in his mid 40s. Seriously, look up his combine stats. Watch him running a route in the Munich game and see for yourself. He’s successful because he has a VERY high football IQ. And as a QB, that doesn’t have much crossover to BJJ. source, 2022 ↗

Hey all, we have a group for LGBTQ+ people who do BJJ. Anyone who fall into that category feel free to send me a dm. We have over 700 members including over 25 black belts. We do meetups/choke camps. We are doing one at the end of the month in Southern California. If you are lgbtq+ & want to attend send me a message. Any gyms that would like to host us give me a shout. Especially any gyms in Europe… I’ll be there this winter and would love to do something there. At least some open mats. I’ll be in Paris/London/Madrid/Munich & Milan. Can travel elsewhere as well. source, 2021 ↗

Bixente FUCKING Lizarazu. That little surfing, ~~judo~~ jiu-jitsu-champion, #69 jersey wearing motherfucker. Still my favourite FCB player of all time. At one time he was the most successful player on the world, having won everything on the club level with Munich and being holder of WC and EC. Fucking love him. source, 2019 ↗

I've been to two camps so far (Germany and Iceland, third in Estonia coming up) and I learned Jiu Jitsu I've otherwise wouldn't have learned, met people I now consider some of my closest friends and I started traveling way more because of the camps, with gi and nogi gear in my backpack. So the effects have been positive, and the camp experience itself was amazing as well! Bonus, if you're flying in via Munich, hit me up for some extra training prior and after and maybe a free car ride to the camp. source, 2019 ↗

How about martial arts? Jiu Jitsu or MMA? If interested, I can recommend Munich MMA gym. Here's the schedule: https://www.munich-mma.de/stundenplan/ First few classes are usually free to try. source, 2018 ↗

Looks like the choke came on quick, not sure BJJ guy had a ton of time to escape. There used be an old study of Sebastian Brosche on Youtube by Lex Fridman which was great, where it showed Brosche routinely using this choke in BJJ competition mostly to force closed guard player to open up his game. Unfortunately study is no longer available on YouTube. Then again, it works great for him, until it doesn't... this year, Brosche fought Jaime Canuto in Munich, and lost fight in roughly a minute via this tactic. That video is still on Youtube: https://youtu.be/ht8D7xUQT80 IMO i'd file this techniq source, 2018 ↗

I just got back from a European holiday in Germany. I stopped by the Hutton BJJ Academy in Munich and rolled with the blokes down there. It's amazing how rolling with the Germans was no different to rolling with the Australians. source, 2014 ↗
