I thought I'd post this for you guys. Pretty decent beats in these too. BJJ Hacks filmed a mini-series with some of the biggest academies and competitors in NYC. 2 more episodes to go (renzo Gracie Academy and Marcelo Garcia Academy) and I'll add those videos on 6/17 and 6/24.
Here's a trailer for the series
Eddie Cummings (heel hook specialist just coming on the scene in 2015 and is tearing it up. New black belt under Renzo Gracie and John Danaher. Good friends and training partners with Garry Tonon. Will compete at Abu Dhabi/ADCC in August, and won the trials to get there by heel hooking everyone. Will also compete in Polaris 2 and EBI 4 (Eddie Bravo Invitational.)
Dillon Danis (Marcelo Garcia black belt. 21/22 year old phenom. Part of Marcelo Garcia's "Dream Team." Just submitted Joe Lauzon easily at Metamoris 6 via Darce choke. Has an exclusive contract with Metamoris, and will compete in ADCC/Abu Dhabi in August.
Garry Tonon (Black belt under Tom DeBlass/Renzo Gracie/John Danaher. Got his name in the BJJ Kumite with Lloyd Irvin/Keenan Cornelius. Known for crazy scrambles, leg locks, guillotines, and back attacks. Has submission wins at every Metamoris he's done, and will compete in ADCC/Abu Dhabi in August.
John Danaher (Mysterious dude. Has no footage of him training. Black belt under Renzo Gracie, and is grappling coach to GSP, Chris Weidman, Frankie Edgar, Garry Tonon, Eddie Cummings, and more. Known for invented the Darce and Anaconda chokes on his own, and is also known for always wearing a rash guard everywhere, even to Matt Serra's wedding.)
Unity JJ Academy (Academy ran by Murilo Santana. The Miyao brothers train here. Leandro Lo visits a lot. Will be a huge academy for upcoming competitors. They have some free classes, and give a lot to the community, since they're from Cicero Costha's Social Project in Brazil.)
Renzo Gracie Academy - Video comes out 6/17.
Marcelo Garcia Academy - Video comes out 6/24.
