On July 10, 2012 El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu Jitsu hosted a Seminar with Professor Marcos Torregrosa. As a competitor, he is a World Champion and sitting in the current BJJ world rankings at number eight. As an instructor, he has multiple students in the IBJJF rankings and has come out with very technical instructional Apps on the Droid and I-phone. The seminar was very insightful for the attendees, giving them a chance to understand how they can breakdown a position and develop technically. Most importantly, the two and a half hour seminar, emphasized the importance of designing a structured game plan according to your skills and body type.
"When you have a game plan, you've taken your thoughts, your energy and now your actions are channeled towards something very specific," Professor Torregrosa explained. "When I first learned about this idea, this concept, my approach to Jiu jitsu completely changed." As he continued to share with us his insights and technical break down of very specific positions, the students began to reflect upon their jiu-jitsu styles and how they could form a game plan specific to themselves.
Immediately following the seminar, one hour of rolling took place where the students were given the opportunity to train with the Professor and implement the newly acquired technique. Instruction didn't end though as Professor Torregrosa continued to make adjustments specific to each student he rolled with. His sincere passion for jiujitsu and desire for it to be understood by everyone was very apparent. Thank you, and we are looking forward to having you up in the hills again soon!
