  • The History of The Gregorian Lapel Submission System for SALE on www.GregHamiltonBJJ.com

    The History of The Gregorian Lapel Submission System for SALE NOW on www.GregHamiltonBJJ.com It All Started in 2014 at Jean Jacques Machado HQ in Tarzana, Ca. When I was a basic brown belt training at the legendary Jean Jacques Machado Jiu JItsu Academy HQ in Tarzana, Ca., it was very difficult to execute submissions on anybody who was purple belt and above. Forget submitting brown belts and just focus on surviving with black belts. I had to get creative and began using my lapels to use trickery and deception to setup submissions, which was also very difficult to do. Oftentimes, my training partners would turtle, and sit there protecting their neck, waiting for the right time to ....

  • 10+ Warning Signs You Are Dealing With An Evil Person

    10+ Warning Signs You Are Dealing With An Evil Person

    Evil can be defined, but it's hard to pin down. Simply put: an evil person is someone who engages in malevolent behaviors. Unfortunately some of the most evil people that you were possibly ever meet will be the ones that are closest to you. And what’s even more unfortunate is that sometimes it takes years if not decades to realize that evil is literally surrounded you and so close to you that it becomes incredibly difficult to cut this evil out of your life like a cancer. Some argue that they're immoral, sick, depraved, or wicked, but those words are hard to define. Immorality to one is normalcy to another. But when you meet an evil person, no amount of questioning definitions ....

    Top 5 Reasons Why In Jiu Jitsu Your Partner's Safety is Your Responsibility


    Top 5 Reasons Why In Jiu Jitsu Your Partner's Safety is Your Responsibility
    The relationships you develop with your training partners are some of the most pure you will ever have. Why? Because just imagine. Think about how much trust you have to have in your training partner who can totally hurt you if not careful and mindful with your safety and well being. If you tap, and your partner keeps pulling your arm, or neck and does not let go, you will be injured. Sometimes severely. Ever seen somebody do a heel hook they did not let go? Its horrible.
    Words To Remember Forever
    YOUR PARTNER'S SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY when you train Jiu Jitsu. This is a mindset and a culture that is bred ....

I have known Professor Hamilton for more than 6 years and  I can absolutely say that it was heartbreaking seeing him leave our academy and teach at Mid Cities, but our loss is Mid cities gain! Mid cities will have an incredible instructor and a new brother. Professor Hamilton is an incredible human being and family man. Every time I trained with him at the academy his ego was always at the door! Best of luck with your new academy Greggo! Take care of him Texas!
