Check Out Episode 1 of Our New Series "I am A BJJ Fanatic!"
Posted by Matt Bryers on
At BJJ Fanatics, we are not only interested in learning interesting new techniques all the time, we are also interested in learned more about what motivates world class grapplers. It’s inspirational to hear the story behind the fighter. We often take for granted just how much goes on behind the scenes at any training camp. To reach the top of your generation of athletes takes hundreds of hours of dedication and sacrifice, and a passion for becoming truly great in your sport.
Leonardo likes to play a half guard and over under pass style of jiu jitsu. It is an easy game to adapt and does not require a high level of skill or athleticism.
It is within that spirit that we bring to your our new Jiu Jitsu motivational documentary series “I Am A BJJ Fanatic.” In this series we will interview BJJ Fanatic’s most successful grapplers as they take us behind the scenes and give us an exclusive look into their lives as professional competitors.
Our series kicks off our first episode with Leonardo Saggioro. Leonardo is a multiple time World Medalist and world renowned competitor. He has been involved with BJJ Fanatics for a long time, and has a great instructional series called “Sweep The World” available as instant access online or a physical DVD.
Leo is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Ricardo Marques. He is a top representative for Brazilian Top Team (BTT) in the sport’s international circuit. Saggioro is recognized by many as one of the greatest feather weights of his generation. Let’s see what Leo has to say!
That’s some truly motivational stuff. It is no wonder Leo has achieved so many great things in his competitive career! His mentality is a strong as they come. He is a tough competitor, and truly passion about what he does.
If you’d like to see some of the techniques that make Leo one of the greatest grapplers of his generation then you should really check out his instructional series “Sweep The World.” Here is just a little taste of what this series has to offer.
