Champion grappler to host seminar

WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE: Head instructor at South Melbourne’s 10th Planet grappling gym Josh Pecanstaing will be in town in October to share his experience with anyone keen to head along to the Mount Gambier Grappling Club.

THE Mount Gambier Grappling Club is excited to host a seminar with 10th Planet brown belt and head instructor at South Melbourne Josh Pecanstaing.

Pecanstaing has a winning record in both Brazilian Jiu jitsu competition and MMA and has trained multiple champion competitors.

The seminar will take place on October 20 and will run for a total of three hours.

Pecanstaing will break down his competition-winning techniques and has included a question and answer session for all attendees.

Numbers will be capped to ensure mat space for all who attend, but the seminar is open to anyone, regardless of who or what they train with.

“I first trained with Josh when he was a student of my coach Frank Barca in 10th Planet Melbourne in 2009,” MGGC’s Matthew Grubb said.

“Since then Josh has taken multiple training trips to America to train under the creator of the 10th planet system Eddie Bravo.

“I myself was lucky enough to join him in 2014 to train at 10th Planet headquarters in downtown Los Angeles.

“He has earned the level of Brown Belt in the system and also branched out and started his own school in South Melbourne, a stones throw from the CBD, which is flourishing, with great numbers, but more importantly competition-winning students.”

Those wishing to attend or find more information on the event can contact the Mount Gambier Grappling Club direct or via its Facebook page.
