Repost :
17 years ago, back in 2009 during my purple belt days at the ADCC club in Abu Dhabi 🇦🇪 we were backed by an elite coaching team of seven senior master black belts: Carlos Santos, Suyan Queiroz, Olavo Abreu, Sid Jacintho, Alex Paz, Marcelo Motta, and Ricardo Brandao Fraenkel.
Up to three hours daily grind on the mats inside a system that had been running strong since I started my journey in 2001. No shortcuts, real pressure, discipline, and technique. Forever grateful for those 14 years spent learning, growing, and grinding in Abu Dhabi before moving to NZ.
🔥At Grappling-Lab BJJ 🇳🇿 the knowledge is passed down; the standard remains unshakeable.
Osss 👊🏼
📍Here, the foundations are built to last, systems are engineered to function, and champions are crafted to shine. We provide the blueprint; the drive belongs to the individual.
This is 🔥Grappling-Lab BJJ🔥 shaped in ADCC, Abu Dhabi under a top-tier international coaching team that has sustained excellence and led world-class squads for decades before bringing their experience to us, alongside the guidance of my senior master Sid Jacintho.
We don't just teach moves; we pass down a structured, proven system through our decades of collective international experience.
