Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by Ed Semple
The concept of Mixed Martial Arts, where fighters from different arts compete against one another, is generally seen as a relatively recent development and yet contests between fighters from different martial arts have been common and incredibly in Brazil for over a hundred years. During this time, fighters from many countries have travelled to Brazil, bringing their own unique skills and different styles of combat with them. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has developed out of this eclectic mix of forms and techniques, and it continues to advance today as an art specifically designed for the Mixed Martial Arts arena.
Ed Semple has a PhD in Sport and Exercise Sciences and has taught in several countries including Japan and the USA. He has worked with many top-class athletes from different sports for over fifteen years. Ed has a black belt in Judo and is the owner of the Sleeping Storm Dojo in the UK that provides a home for martial arts from all over the world. Resident - Surrey Ricardo Da Silva set up one of the first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu clubs in the UK. A highly successful fighter, with many notable victories in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, No Gi and Mixed Martial Arts competition, Ricardo is an outstanding instructor.
