Yemaso BJJ Hosts Gianni Grippo

This past Saturday, June 6th, Yemaso Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy had the distinct pleasure of hosting multiple time world champion Gianni Grippo.  Gianni has traveled the world and, much like instructor Marcos “Yemaso” Torregrosa, has learned from the best on his way to becoming one of the best.

Gianni’s Training Philosophy

Gianni shared a lot about his training mentality and how he goes about developing his game.  Gianni is a big believer in drilling techniques repetitively until they become second nature.  This is a concept that we have cultivated at Yemaso BJJ, and hearing one of the best in the game share the same sentiment validates our efforts and proves that we are aligned with the best principles to develop great martial artists.
 
The seminar went a good four hours as Gianni personally made sure everyone understood and applied the concepts he taught.  In addition, Gianni made himself available to roll with the students of Yemaso BJJ.  We ended the seminar with a question and answer session where Gianni allowed the students of Yemaso BJJ to ask him anything.
 
Gianni fielded questions regarding diet, organization of his time (he is also a full time student), specifics about techniques, and how he cares for his body.  Gianni also made it a point to talk about being a black belt on and off the mats.  Being a black belt on the mats is all about the skill and application of the martial art.  But, being a black belt off the mats is about being a kind, responsible, role model for others as it relates to everything outside of the martial arts.
 
Gianni was a great guest and we look forward to having him back again in the future. Yemaso BJJ is committed to the continued development of our students; we will always do our best to bring forth the most modern, efficient, innovation in martial arts.
