Barcelona Jiu Jitsu Team - Haubert Team - Warriors Factory

Barcelona Jiu Jitsu Academy - Haubert Team.

Or the warriors factory as they like to call it!

Tbh I would say that's exactly spot on as the amount of great quality Jiu Jitsu practitioners is insane!

Firstly Id like to say thanks to David and the team for having both myself and Anne-Sofie and for welcoming us. We both learned many techniques and knowledge was certainly passed on!


The gym is a short metro from the city and on first glance its big with large matted area, pull up bars, punch bags, weights section, cage and therapy room for massages. It has decent changing facilities too which is always a must have.

BJJ training is obviously why people come here and David Blankenheimer (Faxia Preta under Raphael Haubert) is the main professor.  I can say he is no slouch when it comes to Jiu Jitsu and is an advocate for healthy living!

I've seen the guy climb a rope upside down! No joke, upside down climbing rope! Sight to see haha!

His teaching techniques were straight forward and direct and I was lucky enough to join during Half guard week (a personal fave position) so I could somewhat tell if this was going to work which it did!

The warm up drills were great regardless of whether they were passing drills, guard retention or submission orientated they were always relative to the class techniques that day.

Everything I learned from his teachings made it into my game and that makes a good mentor!

This is shown in his teams attendance and numbers! Id say at night there could be 30 people on the mats and with a large majority of this female which was great to see.

Raphael Haubert was also luckily over from Dubai to teach so I got to experience the teachings from another very knowledgeable source!

All put together this is making for some great fighters!

3 golds from the Madrid worlds this week shows that this team is to be reckoned with!

Great team, great mentality and a pleasure to train with!   Ossss!
