I have placed pictures of all the coaches throughout this piece, with a summary of the main techniques and principles that they covered (what I took from their lessons at least). You all offered a unique and knowledgeable perspective into BJJ, and I have taken something from each session.
I want to say a massive thank you to all of the coaches for donating their time. I have broken this blog post into the following sections:ฤก: the overall takeaways from my experience I had the pleasure of receiving instruction from some very high level practitioners, as well as the privilege of rolling with literally hundreds of people of all ranks, ages, weights and styles. With eating and toilet breaks accounted for, this equates to approximately 3.75 hours of instruction, 7.5 hours of drilling, and 11.5 hours of rolling, with 30 minutes of yoga stretching at the end!
The remaining time was an open mat for free training. Over the 24 hours, there were 15 one hour long lessons, each consisting of 15 minutes of instruction, 30 minutes of drilling and 15 minutes of positional grappling.

I have just completed a 24 hour Grapple-A-Thon, which is 24 hours of continuous Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and I want to share the lessons that I have learnt from this experience.
