Hello everyone and welcome to our latest blog. This year I shall be trying to keep up with regular blogs, just like before. I do apologise that I was not so active last year. Unfortunately, sometimes I get so busy that I neglect to do simple things like this, as I am usually on the […]
Hello Everyone, Thanks again for checking in and taking the time to read the blog. Firstly I’d like to apologise for missing last month. I have reasons… but no excuses!… please forgive me! So… without further a do I’d like to get straight into it. This is something that I’ve always thought of for a […]
Hello Everyone, Thank you for taking the time to read this blog. This month I would like to talk about an approach to training that I have always adopted, regardless of what style it was. But is so important now, more than ever before. Since I began my martial arts journey almost 25 years ago, […]

Hello Everyone, Following a few recent conversations with some of my students over the last month I would like to share with you the benefits of BJJ and what it actually means to be a Black Belt. The belt is something that everyone who starts out would like to achieve (though very few actually do), […]
Equipe GB is emblazoned across our uniform. For many of you who haven’t heard me mention this before, it means TEAM Gracie Barra. Just how important do you think team values are to Gracie Barra schools worldwide, and to our founder Master Carlos Gracie Jnr? To go so far as to have it on our […]
Have you ever been on a car journey and suddenly thought to yourself: “What happened for the last 5 miles”?. Or, have you ever been on a journey you make many times: on the way to work for example, and suddenly noticed something you have never seen before? If you’re anything like me at all […]
