Evolve MMA is the Premier Location for Learning BJJ in Asia

PhilBoxing.com


As mixed martial arts (MMA) has grown to become one of the most popular sports in the world Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) has also expanded internationally to the point where it?s profile is higher than ever before.

There are various different martial arts which teach the submission skills that fighters require to be able to compete successfully in the cage but BJJ is universally regarded as the most effective and the most competitive.

Most BJJ practitioners aspire to eventually become a black belt but to achieve this accolade takes almost a decade and requires an equivalent amount of time and dedication to becoming a medical doctor or academic professor.

Not only does Evolve MMA have the biggest BJJ program in Singapore, but it has the most number of BJJ instructors found anywhere in Asia in one school."Few schools are fortunate enough to have an instructor who is at black belt level but Evolve MMA is home to 11.

Rafael Correa de Lima is a fourth degree black belt and Mundials World Champion, Leandro Issa is a third degree BJJ black belt and Mundials World Champion, Herbert Burns is a first degree black belt and No Gi Grappling World Champion, Leandro Ataides is a second degree black belt and Copa de Mundo World Champion, Bruno Pucci is a first degree black belt and No Gi Grappling World Champion while Zorobabel Moreira is a third degree black belt and Mundials World Champion.

They can all be found training together and teaching students at Evolve MMA while other BJJ black belts on the team there include Shinya Aoki, Rafael Dos Anjos, Almiro Barros, Gamal Hassan and Marcos Ratinho. Cumulatively they have centuries of experience and students at Evolve MMA are privileged to have the opportunity to learn from such accomplished instructors.

Evolve MMA head coach Heath Sims says he has never seen so many BJJ black belts in one place before,

?I have trained at a lot of camps but to have all these BJJ black belts under one roof is unprecedented and because they all train together and learn from one another they are constantly improving, as are the students at Evolve MMA.?

With Evolve MMA having campuses at three separate locations in Singapore, as well as offering online tutorials through Evolve University, the country has one of the most thriving BJJ scenes in Asia with classes available at virtually any time of the day or week.
