Two BJJ Grappling seminars in one week!!

Just wanted to say thanxs to BJJ Black Belt Fabio ‘Galeb’ Fernandes for stopping by the gym and hooking the guys up with a free grappling seminar.

Just a lil’ story on how small the BJJ community is.  Fabio is from Sao Paulo Brazil and his older brother is also a BJJ Black Belt.  While in Sao Paulo Fabio’s brother was promoted to BJJ Purple Belt under my instructor Juliano Prado before he relocated to the United States.  We have many mutual friends, and it was kinda cool to share stories for a bit :)

Fabio has a 6-1 record in MMA with his only loss coming to Bellator Champion Hector Lombard.  Leaving Brazil, Fabio has called Australia home for the past few years and trains along side Ozzie MMA sensations Jamie Te Huna (also a TMT alumni) and Mark Hunt.

Mauricio and Cat Zingano last week….Galeb today….then Royce Gracie on Thursday.  No other gym in Asia gives you an opportunity to train with so many world class fighters~!
