Jiu Jitsu Style - Issue 38 2017

It’s been a busy time for me over the past

few months. I’ve been training hard, as al-

ways; working on my boxing, staying ready

for another MMA fight, while also training

in the gi and preparing for the IBJJF Pro

League this August.

I love developing new skills, with my boxing

and also my love of chess keeping me busy

away from the academy, but I always love it

when I get to put on my gi and train jiu jitsu. I

have a great network of people around me in

London, so I’ve enjoyed keeping my training

up and keeping fit for my next goals.

Another goal that I am very proud to have

finally accomplished is launching my instruc-

tional website, Roger Gracie TV, which is now

live. Historically, I haven’t shown too much

of my technique to the community, with the

idea that one day I’d have my own website to

showcase all my knowledge. It’s been a very

long project, but we have finally got there and

I hope it will be something that people all over

the world can enjoy. We are going to update

the content regularly, so it’s an ongoing project

for me, and one that I find very fulfilling.

As always, we’ve worked hard to line-up some

great content for this issue of the magazine,

starting with our cover star, Kenny Florian.

Kenny has had an amazing career in the UFC,

and has set a very good example as a mar-

tial artist. His interview is full of interesting

perspective – and lots of great stories – so do

check this out.

We also have a feature interview with Ma-

hamed Aly, who is one of the younger black

belts really making a name for himself at the

moment. Aly is a very exciting fighter to watch;

explosive and dynamic, so be sure to watch his

career progress over the coming years.

We have a range of technique for you, from

Australian Kit Dale to British Judo Olympic

medalist, Sally Conway. I am a big fan of

judo, so it’s always great to see techniques

from elite judoka.

For people interested in learning about the

Ketogenic diet, we have a very detailed arti-

cle for you. It’s a really interesting diet, which

has gained lots of publicity recently, and this

piece will help you gain all the facts, as well as

reference how it can work for a jiu jitsu fighter.

Enjoy the latest issue of the magazine guys

and – until next time – keep training and en-

joying jiu jitsu.
