BJJ training in the Philippines




While I was on holiday in my home country of Philippines I managed to squeeze in a few training sessions of BJJ. I never thought that BJJ would that popular in the Philippines and they were actually a few clubs around Metro Manila. I managed to find New Breed Jiujitsu ( thru my sister-in-law) in Rockwell, Makati City. So I trained with these guys for a couple of hours at 0630 in the morning for a few sessions during my stay. The early start almost put me off, but as soon as i rolled with these guys. It was all worth it, waking up at 530 in the morning.

This group is a competition team so there approach to training is slightly different to what i was accustomed to. But they were very supportive and gave a lot of advice to improve my game. Well what do you expect when you're rolling with a Pan-Asian absolute champion (blue belt)?

With only a few sessions with them, i feel that i've learned a lot and i hope to apply them to my game.

So if any of you are planning to go to the Philippines. Check them out.Osss!
