"The class begins and we go through the most in-depth and rigorous ‘warm up’ routine I’ve experienced yet at a gym. Approximately 20 – 30 minutes of jogging, squats, lunges, burpees, press ups and various BJJ movements to scale the mat. It was like attending a fitness session before a BJJ class! Once it was done, everyone was drenched in sweat already and breathing heavy. “Right guys, get a drink and then we’ll start”, Professor Bruno calls from the mat when we are done. ‘I don’t think anyone’s going to be struggling here for cardio when they compete’, I think as I chug some water :-) The class is great! Intense technique drills, troubleshooting, variations, and class finishes with some rolling. There’s a real sense of a family atmosphere. Everyone here seems to have a real bond and all seem to be friends off the mat also. Everyone also makes a real effort to make me feel included, really friendly group of people :-) " Blog White Belt Abroad- August 24th http://www.whitebeltabroad.com/2015/08/week-29-gyms-24-25-monarchy-mma-kuala-lumpur/ #bjjfamily #whitebeltabrod #bruninhobjj #teambudajiujitsu #monarchybjj #monarchygym #brasil #malaysia #bjjblog #bjjtrip #bjjtraveler #brotherhood #bjjglobetrotters #yolobjj #tumblr
