There's a guy in the Beaches area of Toronto that's
claiming to teach 'Brazilian Grappling' (and no, it's
not Jesse Richardson - everyone knows he is LEGIT)
The guy's name is Mark Evans (anyone heard of him ever
being associated with bjj or grappling?) My
understanding is anyone can teach 'grappling' or
'wrestling with submissions', but when they add the
word Brazilian to the word grappling it just rubbed me
the wrong way - seems alot are trying their damn best
to accociate bjj with their name or club (call it bjj,
call it brazilan grappling, call it brazilain-style
grappling, call it whatever you like), but when they're
trying to cash-in on the whole "bjj" craze, it's just
not right - especially when 'legit' clubs are all
around the city, and the legit teachers/trainers/
coaches have taken the time, the energy, the sweat and the $ to do everything right FROM THE BEGINNING, these
guys move in and try to take potential $ and students
away from the legitimate guys (you all know who you are
without me mentioned all the gyms/names).
This guys club is at 2210 Queen St E, and it's called
Horizon Martial Arts.
If you're in or around the Beaches and you want proper
BJJ and/or Submission Grappling taught to you, go and
visit Franco/Behring associate and student Jesse Richardson. He's located two blocks west of Woodbine
Ave, on the north side of Queen St. I forget the exact
address, but give him a call at 416-704-3332. He's in
the basement of a Catholic church two nights a week
and on Saturdays.
