Bronze at Grand Prix in Paris for Sina Staub

Paris. Sina Staub once again won a bronze medal at the Grand Prix in France - this time in her new weight class of -52 kg. She had already returned to Switzerland last year with a precious metal in the flyweight -48 kg category. 

To master another difficult and high-caliber tournament and reach the podium in a higher weight class is fantastic. 

In the semi-final, Sina faced the reigning world champion and was leading 12:11 until 10 seconds before the end of the fight. In a fast sport like Ju-Jitsu, even 10 seconds is a long time and a lot can still happen. So Sina had to concede defeat to the Ukrainian athlete at the final bell with only one point lower score (12/13).

Sina, I am proud of your performance! The World Championships can come!

Combat Camp Sweden 2023

The first training camp of the year was completed. I traveled to Sweden right at the beginning of the year, not only to hold training sessions for an international audience, but also to coach some of my Ju-Jitsu athletes there.

The competition training camp in Sweden was a great success. It was great to see so many good fighters on the tatami with so much joy and big smiles. Everyone had fun doing what they love to do. Sweating together, training techniques and competing in randori. I would like to thank all the organizers, fellow coaches and all the athletes for their commitment.
