I have mentioned before that here in Salt Lake we have some excellent grappling instructors with a wide variety of experience. As a Machado black belt and a multiple Greco-Roman and Freestyle All-American, not to mention Pancrase champion, Brandon Ruiz brings a lot of experience to our grappling community in the valley. Brandon actively trains and competes, which means he doesn’t spend as much time teaching, but I have had the opportunity to take a class from him. Last year he instructed a takedowns seminar at U.C.T.C. It was a phenomenal class. Word on the street is that Brandon will be teaching a Saturday class at the new Team Machado Utah location at East West MMA in South Jordan, which is great news for those of us who train there.
For a complete list of Brandon’s creds, check out the Team Machado Utah blog.
Brandon graciously took the time to do this interview right after the first TMU class at East West MMA last week, so I asked for his insight on the integration of wrestling into Brazilian jiu-jitsu and his opinions on teaching and training. I may have sneaked in a couple of MMA questions too.
It’s a two-part interview. Enjoy!
