The newly formed German Top Team held its first training session this past Sunday and it was a huge

Success. Luta Livre black belt and ADCC 2001 veteran Andreas Schmidt showcased the newest Vale Tudo

techniques to all in attendance in the three hour session. 

Also, during this session, the GTT welcomed the newest addition to their team - BJJ World Championship

Bronze Medallist, "Smack Girl" Japan veteran, and Hook 'n Shoot veteran Mayra Conde from the Beverly

Hills Jiu-Jitsu Club. 

Conde now lives in Germany and joined the GTT! She is now part of a team with highly experienced top

fighters from all over Germany - Andreas Schmidt (LL Black Belt, ADCC veteran, Shooto Brazil veteran),

Daniel Ackermann (Jiu-Jitsu World Champion, UGC Champion), Robert Fahryj (UGC Champion),

Franco De Leonardis (German SHIDO MMA Grand Prix Champion), and Peter Angerer (ADCC Veteran,
