Gutemberg Pereira Trapp BJJ Collaboration
This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with GFT black belt Gutemberg Pereira prior to his two seminars in Maryland. Gutemberg has quickly made a name for himself in the black belt super pesado division after capturing IBJJF World Titles at both purple and brown belt. We discussed his recent addition to the Trapp BJJ instructor camp and the pros and cons of utilizing online training videos to develop ones BJJ skills. I also pressed him on some additional interesting topics that you’ll just have to listen to the podcast to hear.
Saturday and Sunday Gutemberg and Trapp hosted seminars in Glen Burnie (Noel Smith BJJ) and Ground Control (Columbia) Maryland. I managed to attend the second session at Ground Control where we covered some of Gutemberg’s passing principles and techniques. I can honestly say that the term pressure passing is not just being thrown around lightly, the pressure is real, real painful. Some really good tips that I plan to drill and implement in order to bring my pressure passing up a notch.
The audio version of the podcast is below and is also available on SoundCloud, Podbean, Stitcher, and iTunes. The video version can be found on our YouTube page.
Hope you enjoy the interview. Until next time. Keep Grinding.

Jiu Jitsu Black Belt Marysia Malyjasiak Interview
In this episode I interview Jiu Jitsu black belt Marysia Malyjasiak (yes I butcher her name on the podcast) on behalf of Trapp BJJ. Marysia is the newest Trapp BJJ instructor and second instructor to sit down with me for an interview. For those who may not have accessed Trapp BJJ, the app and website provide detailed Jiu Jitsu tutorials and is available on all Apple and Android devices.
During the podcast we discuss a host of items from the beginning of her training in Poland to her plans for the future. In particular, I don’t want you to miss the discussion we have on the key components to success in competition and the little things that will make a huge difference. Marysia describes it as “the triangle” and you’d be surprised about one of the key components which technically has nothing to do with training.
I’ll wrap it up there because I don’t want to spoil it for you. Competitor, coach, parent, or mentor it’s definitely worth the listen. IBJJF DC and New York Open are right around the corner, this could be the key ingredient to your success.
Anyway guys, until next time, KEEP GRINDING
