Demian Maia at London Fight Factory

Gremlins in the work prevented me from posting this after what can be only described as three hours of absolute Jiu Jitsu gold from UFC legend Demian Maia, who was guest of honour over at London Fight Factory on Saturday March 9th.

Four of us represented Wimbledon BJJ on the day and the mats were understandably packed out for this event, in what was the most hotly anticipated event of the year so far.  

Luiz brings nothing but the best down to LFF and Demian did not disappoint, as he passed on a multitude of old school techniques and some really brutal submissions, all easily  adapted into anyone's game, which is just what I like.

The energy in the room was palpable and Demian is such a humble and approachable guy; it's hard to think that he's such an elite athlete with an unparalleled BJJ and MMA record of achievement, as he talked to white belts and black belts on the mats in equal measure and respect. 

No question was too much trouble for him in the Q+A session half way through the seminar and it was an insightful and revealing window into the mindset of an elite athlete.

As always, huge thanks to Luiz for arranging such an amazing and inspiring afternoon of Jiu Jitsu.
