Carpe Diem BJJ Manila
Carpe DiemCDBJJ Manila offers comprehensive programs for both adults and children, focusing on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals as well as no-gi submission wrestling. The academy's training philosophy emphasizes leverage over strength, teaching students to control opponents without striking or causing harm. This defensive approach makes BJJ ideal for self-defense and practical application, suitable for practitioners of all ages and fitness levels.
The gym is led by three accomplished black belt instructors: Professor Allan Co (20+ years experience, national team coach, world champion mentor), Professor Myron Mangubat (national team athlete, multiple-time local champion known for his dynamic grappling style), and Professor Jaguar Tang (program director, developer of the country's first homegrown world champion in the juniors division). All instructors are experienced competitors who continue to medal in international tournaments while dedicating themselves to developing the next generation of Filipino grapplers.
