Send us a text

Expect to get the everyday perspective on what Dustin Porier should've done against Islam, the Craig Jones Invitational and if Gabi beats Craig, cheap leg lock systems, if Paul can ever get a black belt and if Danny can ever get on top, how to develop your Jiu Jitsu and much more.
Malachy Friedman is a second-degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the legendary Master Ricardo Liborio of Carlson Gracie lineage. With almost 20 years of experience, Professor Friedman is adept in multiple fight disciplines including MMA, BJJ, Boxing, Muay Thai and Wrestling.
Malachy started his training with the late UFC Middle-Weight Champion, Evan Tanner. After years of competition, he joined American Top Team in Coconut Creek (2006-2015) where he coached beginners and champs, including the late, great Kimbo Slice to his win against Ken Shamrock at Bellator. Malachy cornered and coached Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters, IBJJF and ADCC BJJ competitors, and hundreds of newcomers to the sport.
In addition to coaching, Malachy is both a strategist and innovator in the sport, having created video instructionals, The Darce Killer, The HeisenGuard, Flower Power, Sh*t Your Instructor Never Showed You, Unf*ck Your Jiu-Jitsu, and Acai Free. He is a regular podcast guest and creator and a contributor to Jiu-Jitsu Magazine.
