Expect to get the grapplers perspective on the UK BJJ scene in the early days, the Essex Foxcatcher, BJJ politics, why schools go the self defence route, why we need to be progressive in BJJ, coaching Taylor Pearman, developing kids, staying healthy and much more.
Alain Pozo is a 3rd Degree Black Belt under world renowned BJJ Professor Ze Radiola (ZR). Alain was one of the first to teach and promote BJJ in the UK and has been instrumental to its growth and popularity. He brings over 20 years of teaching and competition experience; he has run BJJ lessons in Colchester since 2008. Alain has awarded over 60 Blackbelts, many of whom are World Class athletes, including ADCC trials winner, Taylor Pearman.
