The Grapplers Perspective #55 - Marco Canha - You Can’t Talk To Me About Competition, If You’re Not Competing
Expect to get the grapplers perspective on the evolution of competition, how to prep as an older athlete, different rulesets, new belt standards, if evolution will ruin tradition, Marco's origin story and much more.
Marco Canha is a 4th degree Black Belt and the head instructor at Fight Zone London. Marco is a direct product of the original Fightzone gym in Rio de Janeiro, having earned his black belt at that same gym from Fightzone owner/head coach and 9x World Champion Ricardo Vieira, one of the greatest competitors of the sport!
Marco Canha’s success as a coach has been made evident through his students who have achieved prestigious medals in tournaments such as the World Championships, European BJJ Open, the No Gi European Championship, British Open amongst many more.
