Always keen to learn and keep up to date with my Jiu Jitsu. I've been making sure I take advantage of seminars and bring home the knowledge for the rest of the team.
First was the Gracie Barra Aotearoa camp in Auckland with World Champion, Bruno Alves. That seminar was huge with so much game changing technique taught.
Next was the first ever New Zealand Grappler seminar in Paraparaumu with Gracie Barra NZ head coach, Steve Oliver. Starting with some handy takedowns then some modern Jiu Jitsu, some grappling specific MMA training then no-gi rolling.
Being part of Southern Tribes - Gracie Barra NZ has opened up a world of opportunities for myself and the rest of the Guardant Brazilian Jiu Jitsu team.
