In this short film Wim Hof method instructor and Jiujitsu Black Belt Miles Lukas takes 3 people through their first Ice bath/ cold water therapy sessions. Miles is an amazing instructor and throughout this video he explains how the breath work helps disassociate yourself from your body momentarily so you don't feel the discomfort and enables you to stay in the ice bath for longer. The list of benefits from cold water therapy is truly amazing. Not only does it help boost your mood but it also helps athletes recover from sports by lowering inflammation and combating pain. It can also help to alleviate depression and anxiety. Miles will be teaching a Jiujitsu, breath work and cold water immersion camp at the amazing Grapplers retreat next year September 18th to 22nd.

Bravo made his mark in competitive jiu-jitsu by submitting Royler Gracie at the ADCC Championship (2003), after which he launched his 10th Planet jiu-jitsu team, a program that became widely publicized, gathering a huge following in the grappling and mixed martial arts (MMA) communities. Eddie’s views on grappling turned towards positions such as the rubber guard, the twister and a half guard move Bravo labeled as the lock down, these caught the eye of several MMA fighters who sought Bravo to learn his method. Fighters such as Alan Belcher, Tony Ferguson, Matt Horwich or Vinny Magalhaes, to name a few. In 2003, after winning his weight division at the North American ADCC trials, Bravo was handed a chance to compete against the top competitors of the gi world, in a high-level no-gi event. Bravo had gained somewhat of an audience, by commentating for the broadcast of a popular MMA organization, where he expressed his views against the traditional style of Brazilian jiu-jitsu being utilized by most in the sport’s community. Bravo started the tournament well, beating Gustavo Dantas, a former brown belt world jiu-jitsu champion by way of RNC. He faced Royler Gracie in the ¼ final of the tournament, in the under 66kg/145lbs bracket. Royler was 38 years old at the time but still regarded as one of the favorites to win the division, being also one of the most accomplished members of the Gracie family in the sport. Bravo did exceptionally well against Royler, submitting him by way of triangle choke as the Gracie tried one of his trademarked knee sliding guard passes. Bravo would be stopped in the following round of the tournament by Leonardo Vieira, but he had made his mark in the sport. Upon his return to the United States, Bravo opened his first ’10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu’ in Los Angeles, a school which relied on Bravo’s no-gi system, branding itself as outside of regular jiu-jitsu with statements such as: “Their system is flawed because they have stopped evolving it. They insist that in order to get good at no-gi grappling, you must be a master grappling with the gi, but this isn’t true, my students are living proof. They only say that because that is what they teach. Fear of losing money is the only reason why black belt instructors keep perpetuating this lie.” – taken from Eddie Bravo’s book: Jiu-Jitsu Unleashed. On March 2014, 11 years after their first clash, both (retired) competitors, Bravo and Royler agreed to meet once more in a 20 minute long, submission only, grappling match for Metamoris 3. Bravo and Royler had an entertaining fight that ended in a draw, though Bravo got closer to the finish. Days after the fight was finished, it was disclosed by Joe Rogan in his “The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast” that the fight had taken place in a strange set of rules that favored Royler, these rules forced Bravo to wear pants (something Royler was exempt), the rules also permitted that the Gracie held on to Bravo’s uniform while the same was not allowed by Eddie.
