Yo everyone,
Just to inform all you BJJnatics, Fight Zone Malaysia (KL), headed by 2001 ADCC champion Prof. Marcos Escobar, is currently hosting Fight Zone Academy black belt Rodrigo ‘Brucutu’ Cabral, a multiple times BJJ Champion and Black Belt under the legendary Leo Vieira, in KL. There are proposed plans to bring Rodrigo down to KK for a seminar so do stay tune for further (and confirmed) updates!!
I’ve had the pleasure to roll with Rodrigo and it was a blast (private lessons are definitely on the my wish lists!)! Rodrigo will guide and encourage you as you train/roll. So do stop by FZMY if you can (a weblink is available) or do enquire BJJ Borneo head coach, Allen ‘Bajau Nobita’ Chong, for further inquires.
Till then, ROLL SMART, ROLL HARD and ROLL safe!!
OIIEEE!!!!
