There are few I have learned more about jiu jitsu from than David Adiv. He is both a master of the art of jiu jitsu, and a masterful human being. It is my pleasure to do my part in sharing him and his teaching with the world.
In this excerpt from our podcast with him, David describes why jiu jitsu is a lot more scientific than philosophical.

David Adiv’s recent notoriety in the UFC
David has recently had his profile raised due to his presence in the corner of UFC fighter Mickey Gall. Mickey has given a lot of credit to David and his training for his success in the Octagon.
When commentating on his brown belt in jiu jitsu following his victory over the acclaimed CM Punk Mickey had this to say…
“Actually, I’m a brown belt in Gracie Jiu Jitsu under Master david Adiv!”
David was also known for being in Royler Gracie’s corner during many of his legendary matches during his MMA as well.
David is one of the grappling and mixed martial art’s best kept secrets; as he is not a self-promotional individual. He is a source of powerful source of wisdom and knowledge for all of his students.
