Member of the BJJ’s Dirty Dozen - John B Will - a podcast by Adz Lison

One of the most influential Martial Artists of the past two decades, John Will’s accomplishments within the industry are prolific. In the seventies and early eighties he trained extensively throughout Indonesia, Thailand, India and Japan. He was a multi-style Black Belt back when such things just did not happen.

In the 80’s he founded Blitz, Australia’s Leading Martial Arts Magazine, which has since grown to dominate the marketplace here in Australasia. In the late 80’s he switched focus to the USA, where he began training with the likes of World Kickboxing Champion, Benny ‘the Jet’ Urquidez, Gene LeBell, the Gracies and Machado brothers.

After several training trips to Brazil and numerous more to LA, John introduced the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to Australian shores and in 1997 was awarded his BJJ Black Belt by the Machado's.

In the podcast Adz and John talk about the early days of BJJ, some cool stories of his jiujitsu journey and how grappling can be incorporated into public services.
