In early 2000s, I was based in Asia. BJJ scene looked like how it was in the US back in the late 90s. Every school was kinda weird. My first school was in the living room of a condo in Singapore where the coach is a blue belt. His mom and other elderly family members would come in and out of the living room where a bunch of guys in various clothing (gi, shorts, army pants, etc.) are murdering each other without technique for hours every week. Then I went to train in Shanghai in what was the only gym in town at that time. Class was held at the top floor of a building in Taikang Lu (art street source, 2023 ↗

Bangkok, Thailand 2005 Visited one of the highest ranked BJJ guys in South East Asia - Adam Kayoom of Bangkok Fight Club. He was a Eurasian who was a Ricardo Liborio (American Top Team) brown belt (which was as bad ass as you can get given the notoriety of the ATT at that time in MMA and BJJ), a decorated Muay Thai fighter (he was fighting the top ranked Muay Thai guys in Thailand at that time, and a MMA fighter (he was a champ in Australian back then). In 05, I think Singapore didn't have any brown belts yet and neither didn't Thailand; there weren't any native black belts yet in South East source, 2023 ↗

Interesting, do you think there are opportunities for high level coaches to set up gyms in Singapore ? I see lots of expats willing to pay a premium for quality coaches and English is the main language unlike other South East Asian countries. Membership in Singapore is around 200-300 USD per month. Which I thought was normal until I started training in France. source, 2022 ↗

I think it was in this race that Massa first showed the world his unique style. Shoulder Tapping Martial Art. Second only to brazilian jiu jitsu. Years later he beat the crap out of Lewis in singapore using this same technique. Max should watch and learn. source, 2020 ↗
