Grapplethon 2018 - Wave BJJ London

Bit of a belated post but a few weeks back I visited Wave BJJ in London as they were hosting a 24 Hour Grapplethon. I was keen to attend because I wasn't able to make it to the Artemis BJJ Grapplethon event in February (which btw raised a whopping £5,211 for Tap Cancer Out).

Seminar notes: Seph Smith at Basingstoke School of Martial Arts

Seph Smith is an American black belt under Ryan Hall. In fact, fans of Ryan Hall's videos will recognise Seph as the guy who Ryan demonstrates his techniques on. Seph runs his own academy - Upstream BJJ - is a regular competitor and is generally recognised as an excellent instructor and exponent of BJJ. More importantly, he is a black belt at forming goofy faces in many of his selfies - an important trait for an elite level black belt.
