Ben Cameron
After a couple of years in MMA - complete with black eyes and fat lips and strange looks when showing up to his physio job, Ben kicked off his jiu-jitsu journey back in 2008 in Dunedin at what was then Ryan Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (now MYBJJ). The appeal? Hard training without the constant impact injuries.
He's trained across the globe: Blenheim with Marcello Lopez, then the UK at Gracie Barra, Checkmat, Carlson Gracie academies, plus a couple of years in Judo. He settled back in NZ at Axis Christchurch, where the real BJJ story began.
