    BJJ Black Belt Foot Sweeps & Subdues Man Who Assaulted A 14-Year-Old Girl In London

    A Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt named Ivan Skoko sprang into action when chaos erupted at London's Borough Underground station. The Croatian-born fighter, fresh from a training session and heading home on the Northern Line, heard screams and initially feared something like a stabbing had occurred. It turned out a 14-year-old girl had just been robbed—her phone stolen. Once passengers pointed out the suspect, Skoko acted fast: he forced open the train doors, jumped onto the platform, and in mere seconds used a precise judo foot sweep to take the man down—especially after seeing him reach into his pocket, possibly for a weapon.

Tim Coker

This is my third gym that I’ve trained at. I wanted to find a gym where I could get more 1-1 time with the head instructor and also where I felt part of the academy.

I knew from the first time speaking with Prof. Nei that I made the right choice. First off, from the minute you meet Nei you feel welcomed. He is smiling, easy to talk to, and genuinely enjoys people. And then you roll with him and you wonder how can this guy be so deadly but also so nice at the same time. Like a big bear. And then you realize that he is just a great professor and a great person.

He spoke about the history of BJJ as a self defense, and the importance of having a strong stand up game. Two things that the other gyms did not focus on. Everyday we practice take downs along with our ground game.

In conclusion, the gym is only as good as the professor and professor Nei is the man. He gives more instruction, direction, and invests more into his students than anyone that I’ve ever met.
