Seminars

I am available for seminars anywhere in the world. I don't ask for a lot of money, I am not picky about where to sleep, I eat almost anything and I make sure to roll with everyone attending, including that big, scary-looking guy you have in your gym, that might tap me out in front of everyone and ruin the illusion that I cannot die. I am also an experienced traveler, so you don't have to worry about me getting lost or not being able to entertain myself if left alone for five minutes :)

You are are interested in having me visit for a seminar, shoot me an email on graugart@gmail.com and we'll work something out.




"It was an unforgettable weekend. BJJ is not a mere job for Christian, it is his passion, his dream and his life. He is one of the few who made their vocation a profession and who enjoy their professional experiences every day. Christian is a perfect teacher – even though he does not know my language, he could teach without any verbal explanations, sharing his experiences heartily. His BJJ performance is both effective and splendid, he can predict the opponent’s moves forcing him to surrender. A lesson by Christian is always unique, offering edgy technique and attention to detail, coupled with a friendly atmosphere and funny jokes. Thanks a lot, Christian! It would be our pleasure to welcome you back in Moscow one day soon!"
- Nikolay Chuchkalov, Moscow, Russia




"We in Gracie Barra Colombia recommend Christian's seminars. His approach to the technique is more orientated to the body mechanics and lets the student create his own style through the motion. "5 points of control from side control and the escape from sidecontrol" is the knowledge he pass to us, and completely changed the dominance of our competitors in competition. Thank you, Graugart!"
- Carlos Barreto, Gracie Barra Medellin, Colombia




"This dude is so and so at breaking arms, but very good at breaking down techniques and more important, CONCEPTS!"
- Tudor Mihaita, Absoluto Fighting Center, Romania




"I am sure many people will tell you that Christian is very good instructor. I agree with that completely. However he is also accomplished businessman who can give you open advise on how to improve your gym and how to PR correctly. He is funny, humble and technical which is a great combination for BJJ instructor. It was a pleasure working with him. We are looking forward to see him in Corvos again in the future."
- Burak Deger Bicer, Corvos Academy Istanbul, Turkey




"Despite just arriving in the Philippines, Christian headed straight out to the gym during one of the hottest months of the year. With plenty of bodies and little air circulating I was wondering if he would last. But Christian put on a great seminar shared a lot good techniques and a few good stories as well. The guys had fun and we all enjoyed having him at the club. BJJ is a journey, but Christian has made it an adventure."
- Stephen Kamphuis, KMA Manila, Philippines




"I'm not exaggerating when saying this guy changed our life within a 2 hours long seminar. He brought a new perspective on jiu-jitsu training (we didn't have the chance to experience BJJ before) and life in general. Because of Christian, I'm now slowly embracing the BJJ lifestyle and I love it. Thanks man!"
- Ion Vartic, Budokan Chisinau, Moldova




"I had the pleasure of meeting Christian while he was on his Around the World BJJ Adventure. He was in Ankara, Turkey for 3 days during which he taught a series of BJJ classes at my gym. His approach to BJJ is unique and his ability to break down techniques to simple concepts and way of teaching is outstanding. He focuses on principles that everyone, regardless of level of grappling can benefit. Awesome grappler, wonderful teacher and a true friend."
- Eren Anlar, BJJ Ankara, Turkey




"Christian came to Aberdeen, showed us some awesome jiu-jitsu, interesting warm-up drills (one that saw part of a vent pipe 10ft up in the air fall off) and offered insights into his thinking on the sport. We showed him hills, castles and how to make whisky. Seems like a fair swap... The seminar did not just involve Christian unloading a load of techniques on those in attendance. Rather he offered advice that will stay with us throughout our years in BJJ and beyond. For that, we are all extremely grateful.
- Kenny Smith, Granite City Grappling, Scotland




"Christian was in Spartan Jiu Jitsu Panama for 3 days, where he taught the gi and no gi class. We, the instructors staff and all the students were very happy with his way of teaching, and his entertaining explanations of the techniques. Very nice and flow jiu jitsu, we directly here from Panamá recommend if u have the opportunity to train or learn from the Globetrotter. Hope to have you here again for a visit!"
- Miguel Espino, Spartan Jiu Jitsu, Panama
