TimYou’ve had a really successful time in the past year, for people who maybe don't know who you are or what you do, can you tell me the biggest or most successful tournaments you’ve been involved with recently?

BraulioYeah, the biggest ones would be … all the ones that bring international fighters, for Yeah, the biggest ones would be … all the ones that bring international fighters, for me these are big. Now there are no easy fights with the competitions that bring the international fighters, for example the Pan Ams, the Europeans, the World Pro, and the World Championship – the Mundials, and... the ADCC. This was for me, the greatest (event) I have ever done.ADCC is an invitational competition with only fighters who deserve to be there, you ADCC is an invitational competition with only fighters who deserve to be there, you have to qualify or be invited to be there. When I fought there, nobody managed to score a point against me, no fights went to extra time, I tapped (submitted) both of the finalists, you know, beating 4 of the top players (fighters) in the ADCC. So it was a great achievement in terms of scale. This was my first Gold in ADCC, now I have the World Championships – 3 times Gold, 5 times for the Pan Ams, 3 in the Europe‐ans.

TimSo, you been very busy!

BraulioYes!

TimA lot of people are getting to know your name now outside of the BJJ community, especially through ADCC, can you tell me what age you started to train Jiu Jitsu?

BraulioBraulioI started Jiu Jitsu when I was 16 years old. I started through friends you know. I I started Jiu Jitsu when I was 16 years old. I started through friends you know. I heard about the UFC and Royce Gracie fighting and this Brazilian representing you know, the way you can beat the stronger opponent, I was wandering if I could do the same because I wasnt very strong, I was always small. Then I had a friend who I used to do Judo with when I was 11 years old who had started this (Jiu Jitsu) and I said it sounded weird for me! This Jiu Jitsu sounded like something a ninja would do! So I said I would go and see what it is and when I saw it was a grappling thing, I was very interested.I was very interested.

BraulioNo I actually started Judo when I was 10 ‐ 11 but then I stopped because my instructor died. I stopped doing martial arts and started doing football as a kid, as you do!Then I saw there was a lot of politics involved as you get more into professional Then I saw there was a lot of politics involved as you get more into professional football, I noticed that a lot of people who were better than me, were not going pro, and a lot of people who were worse than me were, according to who they knew. My dad had not been involved with football so I knew there was little chance for me to get through. If the guys who were better than me could not get through because of this I knew I had little chance. So I decided to do something that only depended on me, so If I win, I will get somewhere for it, and if I lose, it is only because of me.

BraulioWell, I'm lucky that I have my hobby and my favourite sport as my job. Im lucky Well, I'm lucky that I have my hobby and my favourite sport as my job.

Thank God that BJJ is a thing that you don't need to go full on to enjoy the training, you don't need to hit anybody, you don't need to beat up anybody. It's like grappling is natural in our instincts! If you put two kids playing around, they always want to grapple together!want to grapple together!

You know, this is our game. I try to do as much as possible, even when I’m off train‐ing (for competition) I still roll around with my students, developing new tech‐niques, having fun with my friends, playing around... And of course when it comes to the competition, I take like 12 weeks in a 'full blast'

TimYou pointed out something that I wanted to ask you about when you said 'develop‐ing' techniques... when you get to the level you're at, where you've achieved through tournaments the level of being the best in the world, where do you go to train?Anyone can come to your academy and they would learn so much from training in your classes,but where does the guy who's at the top go to train, where do you get your tech‐nique from?

BraulioEverything is about discovering yourself. It's funny 'cos people have told me many years ago, like the masters say 'you've gotta discover yourself' and you start thinking 'okay, now I'm discovering myself' until you actually realise what it is discovering yourself. When you discover yourself, when you know what are your limits, when you know where you can be in a situation or a fight, you know where you cannot be, this gives you the knowledge and the confidence to try something (techniques) that is not the usual thing that you always do, it's safe because you have the knowledge of the 'keypoints' of things you can and cannot do. For example, when you know of the 'keypoints' of things you can and cannot do. For example, when you know yourself, you know your body, you know your own limits, you can draw a line around it (your limits) and you can realise that there’s still something there that I haven’t tried yet. What if I link this, with the other thing that's a similar area – it's unlimited! There is no limit.In BJJ there is not limit, if you get a combination or A‐B‐C, you can join A with B, A with C, then C with B, C with A, B and C, B and A, and this is only for three options Imagine when you have hundreds... it becomes infinite for a situation.

What is Wing Tzun based on? Science and mathematics. Many Wing Tzun people

boast about how scientific their art is, but in reality they are only teaching the

movements of the system without fully understanding the science behind them.

Let’s look at basic concepts in physics like energy and power.

Many Wing Tzun people say that the art was created by two women specifically so

that weaker people can defeat stronger ones. They argue that therefore you

shouldn’t use power, shouldn’t do stretching, bodybuilding or any sort of explo‐

sive training either.

Of course, these people never fight;

yet they still try to tell you how to

do things that they don’t even prac‐

tise themselves. Personally, I prefer

to see muscles working in a really

hard karate punch than to see the

jaw muscles of these people who

talk a lot but haven’t really undertalk a lot but haven’t really under‐

stood anything.

You need a minimum level of power

to fight; this is basic physics. For ex‐

ample, to hold a bong sau or a tan

sau in place you require a certain

amount of muscle just to maintain

the static position.

Moreover, people always forget Moreover, people always forget

when they practise Wing Tzun that

in reality there is anger behind the

movements and anger in the attack.

Technique training without this realisation can become detached from reality

even though it may look nice and skilful.

Anger changes things. It causes explosiveness, brutality and extra force. So if

your movements cannot deal with the level of impact and aggression that reality

presents, then your defence will collapse. Yet people continue to falsely state that

you don’t need muscle to do Wing Tzun.

The Wing Tzun 'Chain Punch'

One of the trademark techniques from Wing Tzun is the 'Chain Punch'.

This 'rapid fire' technique is designed to overwhelm and overpower an opponent by driving continues

punches straight down the centre line.

In reality, the attacker presses forwards with body weight behind each punch.

Pictured below is a demonstration shot at 50 frames per second. We were not able to place body weight Pictured below is a demonstration shot at 50 frames per second. We were not able to place body weight

behind the punches in order to get the sequence on camera. The following sequence is just 1 second

fire' was sustained for much longer making a very effective attack.SAMPLE

Fergus Dullaghan: Hi Neil, it’s good to catch up with you again. Before we start

talking about technique it would be remiss of me not to ask you about the World

Championships in Japan given that you have literally only just come back. What was

your impression of the tournament in general?

Neil Adams: Well when we went over to the World Championships we all knew it Neil Adams: Well when we went over to the World Championships we all knew it

was going to be a Japanese landslide. Everyone was just waiting for it to happen

really. There were a number of things that lent themselves to what was really an

unfair event in some ways. Firstly, there were two competitors allowed for each

country per weight category. Unfortunately, only the major countries that have

the money and depth could field two athletes while some couldn’t even field one.

The second thing was that it was in Japan, which is naturally a massive home

advantage. And thirdly, they changed the rules to suit the Japanese. So there are advantage. And thirdly, they changed the rules to suit the Japanese. So there are

no leg grabs anymore and it all happened so quickly that everything was geared

towards total Japanese domination.

As a representative of a smaller country it wasn’t totally fair. Another thing was As a representative of a smaller country it wasn’t totally fair. Another thing was

that the Japanese as host nation got to put four players in every category for the

open weights, which just made it nonsense. Of course the Japanese had strength

and depth in the heavy weights and three of them were on the rostrum of the

men’s open weight. It was just ridiculous!

Fergus Dullaghan: A lot of people have been saying recently that judo is opening up Fergus Dullaghan: A lot of people have been saying recently that judo is opening up

and there are a lot of new countries coming through and making some serious chal‐

lenges for places...

Neil Adams: No, I just don’t agree. I think that this is leading to a total Japanese

and Asian domination again. You can see for example that the next nearest country

was France with just two Golds, while Japan had eight.

So I don’t agree. I think if they don’t change the format back again to one person

per country in every weight group it’s going to make it very difficult for smaller

countries to get important medals and [Olympic] qualification as well. There is

also the risk of a split as smaller countries are not going to be able to compete. Not

only that but they can’t afford to do all the necessary IJF tournaments. It costs too

much money. So they are not going to be able to qualify for the Olympic Games.

So what might happen now if we are not very careful is an elite split with two

different events. It could end up like karate with different organisations so that the different events. It could end up like karate with different organisations so that the

smaller nations can carry on participating, so I don’t necessarily think that this is

the right way to go.

which can only be a good thing. I said right the way through my commentary for

the World Championships that it was nice to see newaza developing again; people

were going for things and the referees were allowing it to happen. One of the prob‐

lems is when the technique is too advanced for the referee and they don’t know

what is happening so they stop it early.

Fergus Dullaghan: Yes that’s absolutely right. Well that is good news because I think that a lot of my generation of judoka don’t really have great newaza; it’s been ignored because it’s not as useful in getting results as it once was...

Neil Adams: I think that’s right. I was trained fifty/fifty newaza and tachiwaza

(standing techniques) and I think the balance has shifted. The rules changed that,

so I’d like to see the balance re‐addressed and a move back towards a more

fifty/fifty situation.
