TAP-OUT BJJ MUMBAI ACADEMY

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is based upon grappling and ground fighting with the aim of gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force submission. It has the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully grapple against a bigger and stronger assailant.
It is of two types depending upon uniform (Gi). With uniform its called Gi-BJJ and without uniform its No Gi BJJ. The advantage of no uniform is what makes it practical in MMA tournaments, street combat and self defense situations.

We are authorised training center of Jiu Jitsu Global Federation, Rickson Gracie's institution. Our members are recognised practitioners of JJGF.

At Tap Out, we teach No Gi Jiu Jitsu. To learn under us, please Call: +91 9820496752.
We run courses of 3 to 6 month durations, twice weekly.

Note on an online Slander video attempting to defame Us:

One american online video is out to malign me labelling my BJJ Black Belt as fake. My Black Belt was awarded by Prof. Adolphe Auguste from Syndicat De Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, France on 14 Nov 2016. He passed away into his heavenly abode in Aug 2017. On 28 Aug 2018, I was accepted into Rickson Gracie’s JJGF Jiu Jitsu Global Federation and after background verification, received a ‘Certified Academy’ status with Black Belt member Certificate. Similarly, Sensei Ralph Villa from Team Lockjaw also accepted me as a BB member of Team Lockjaw on 15 August 2019 with Blackbelt membership certificates. I was not graded Blackbelt by GM Rickson Gracie or Sensei Ralph Villa but recognised as a legitimate BB member of their orgs. Online troller video says that since Prof. Adolphe RIP is no more, there is no way of verifying my Black belt. It further says I claim to be ‘certified directly’ by GM Rickson Gracie. It is to be noted that I donot teach any traditional art in keeping with the Bruce Lee philosophy. Therefore I donot teach traditional BJJ, but instead teach no Gi Jiu Jitsu without uniform for practical self defense applications.
Further this online video falsely alleges that I manufactured the Jeet Kune Do Certificate awarded by my dearest decade long Teacher, GM Richard Bustillo, well known Original Student of Bruce Lee from CA, USA. His IMB certificate grants me ‘Master Instructor’ status awarded in 2015 during his Mumbai visit to train me. This certificate bears a ‘validity date’ of 2018 whereas GM Bustillo passed away in 2017. The troller has highlighted the validity date, mislabelling it as issue date- stating how can GM Bustillo issue a certificate after he died!? This is clearly an attempt to malign me.
I am a very respectable citizen of India, President's rank awardee and part of Parachute regiment TABN, Indian Army. I am one of only six Indians to be knighted with rank honour by the President of India alongwith Kapil Dev, Mohanlal, MS Dhoni, Abhinav Bindra and Sachin Tendulkar for my contributions to modernization of Close Quarter Combat in the Indian Army. I am not here to meet any trollers expectations but to sincerely teach art as a passionate pursuit.
Yours truly
