INVISIBLE JIU JITSU'S REVIEWS


David Morcegão
David is a 3rd Degree Black Belt who began his training at the birth of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the UK. Starting at the famous Rough House gym in Nottingham, David was raised alongside future UFC fighters Dan Hardy, Paul Daley and Andre Winner.
In 2008 the sudden and tragic loss of David's father, a mere month before his 50th birthday and retirement from the fire service gave David the sign to not wait to follow through with his dream of pursuing Jiu Jitsu full time. His father had put off much of what he enjoyed doing in life saying that he would have all the time in the world to do it once he was retired. He never got the chance. From this painful loss David learned that sometimes there is no tomorrow and that the leap towards a better life has to be made today, before the choice is taken away from you. Putting aside his career as a high school science teacher he made the move to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to continue his training full time with the very best BJJ and MMA fighters that the home of the sport had to offer.
His dedication to training full time saw him promoted from Blue belt to Black belt in an almost unheard of 4 years, becoming the first and only English Black Belt under living legend, Master Ricardo de la Riva, the famous inventor of the de la Riva guard position.
Aside from Jiu Jitsu, David is also the highest ranked native teacher in the United Kingdom of Luta Livre, the Brazilian descendent of catch wrestling adapted for MMA competition. His instructor is 6th degree Luta Livre Coral Belt and UFC/Pride MMA veteran Miltinho Vieira.
David always emphasises technical correctness during his sessions at Invisible Jiu Jitsu in Burton on Trent, focusing on what he calls the “Invisible Jiu Jitsu”. These are the minute details that are often overlooked by other instructors that can't always be seen but can make or break a technique. He draws on his training as a high school teacher to deliver outstanding lessons tailored to get the very best from each and every student as individuals.
Some of David's competition successes include medalling at the prestigious ADCC World's European Trials, taking gold in multiple British Championships and the winning the Copa America in Brazil. David is also proud to have been the first UK Jiu Jitsu player to be sponsored by world famous Japanese clothing company Bull Terrier.
