BJJ Manifesto Review

BJJ Manifesto Review –

UFC Veteran Matt Arroyo and his coach Rob Kahn just released their first BJJ Book titled BJJ Manifesto.

Rob owns BJJ Tampa and Matt is his top student who made his way to the UFC submitting a ton of guys everywhere from grappling tournaments all the way to the Ultimate Fighter show.

As far as their new book a lot of people have been talking about the book including UFC greats like Royce Grace who has read an advanced copy and says you’re crazy if you don’t get it.

I didn’t get an advanced copy so I’ll be buying mine like everybody else.

I have rolled with some of the Gracie Tampa guys and their BJJ is top notch.

Between Matt and Rob they have been doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for over 25 years and everyone I’ve ever met who knows Rob Kahn says nothing but the BEST things about him.

The best part of the book for me is it’s an instant download and they give a 60 day guarantee. So if you don’t like it you can just return it ..all the risk is on them.

I’m expecting it to be really good because most books just show techniques and this one has a lot of strategy involved in it from what I’ve heard.

Anyway I’m excited to read it and if you want to get better at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu I think you should check it out.

PS THEY JUST ANNOUNCED THEY’RE GIVING AWAY FREE $250 PRIVATE BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU LESSONS TO THE FIRST 200 PEOPLE THAT ORDER.

I got tickled during MMA training

I was teaching MMA/Grappling class the other day at Striking Unlimited and got tickled during the MMA Grappling Training.

Weird right.. Here’s a video where I get the culprit Tas to reenact her MMA tickling techniques


Here’s how I got my start in MMA

Enjoy this FREE Video:

When I first watched UFC I didn’t know where to train.

There were no blogs giving away 7 FREE MMA Videos ^^^^ (hint hint)

But one day my friend came up to me with his buddy and told me that his buddy trained Mixed Martial Arts.. You know that UFC stuff.

They said they we’re doing a tournament called GrapplersQuest that took place at a local high school and you could do submissions on your opponent.

I had never trained before but decided to sign up because my friend Ryan’s friend Hosea had bleached tips in his hair and I figured if THIS GUY can fight I certainly can!! (Hosea and I are now great friends by the way)

I didn’t have the money for classes but I would watch my friends train then go practice the moves I in the park at night after class.

My friend Ryan and I would wrestle in the grass. Sometimes Hosea would come too.

I ended up entering GrapplersQuest and competing in the Novice Division where I made it all the way to the finals.

I had never been that tired in my entire life and ended up losing in the finals due to exhaustion.

That set a FIRE off in me. I knew two things. 1. I had potential. and 2. I HATED losing.

Well several years later they’re out of the high schools and have moved into Mandalay Bay and hotels and casinos all across the country.

Even though I fight MMA on TV and have been around the world doing Mixed Martial Arts. I still compete in GrapplersQuest to this day I’ve become dear friends with the owner Brian Cimins and GQ even sponsors me because I got my start there.

It’s one of the most fun things I’ve ever done in my life and probably the best run tournament I have ever entered!

I’m not the only one either SO MANY UFC Fighters still compete in GrapplersQuest to this day. I can’t even name them all but you’ll see some of them in this video.

It’s real proof of what a great tournament GQ is!

Anyway enjoy the video and if you want to test your skill and see what it’s like to compete against someone of your own skill level or even step up and challenge the best GrapplersQuest is the place to do it!

They have divisions for every skill level and weight Mens,Womens,Kids,Masters ..everything. I can’t recommend GQ more highly. It’s where I got my start and my home to this day!

MMA Press Conference for Tachi Palace Fights 3

Yo yo yo!

Here’s a quick video I did for www.BloodyMayhem.com when they interviewed me after the Press Conference to announce the MMA Fights at Tachi Palace Feb 4th, 2010 in Lemoore, California.

I should probably play the role but I have a problem where I tell the truth all the time.. I think I might be TOO HONEST..

Anyway here’s me putting myself on blast and keeping it a little too real!
