Grapple Asia Interview Ep. 17 | Mateusz Szczencinski & Kamil Wilk | ADCC Competitors | Leglock Camp

Mateusz Szczencinski thought a hard name to pronounce, is now synonymous with high level leglocks. His patented 'Aoki-lock' & 'Shotgun ankle-locks' have earned him both an invite and win in ADCC Worlds 2022 and has earned him the Polaris Welterweight Belt.Kamil a fierce competitor in his own right, was a late replacement at ADCC Worlds 2017 in Finland. Together, they decided to start what is now called, "Leglock Camp" in 2019 that has brought them all over the world. Kamil & Mateusz were kind enough to sit with us to discuss all things grappling. ADCC, B-Team or New Wave and what exactly makes them stand out as world class grapplers.Socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leglockcamp/https://www.instagram.com/wilku_bjj/https://www.instagram.com/mateusz_szczecinski/-----------------------------Chapters0:00 Sponsors0:46 Guest Introduction1:32 Kamil & Mateusz origins3:25 How Leglock Camp started6:08 ADCC Polish Nationals6:55 The challenges for Polish competitors9:45 History of BJJ in Poland12:25 The rising popularity of the camp16:33 Mateusz & Kamils impression of Asia19:30 Northern Thailand20:35 The growing level of Jiu-Jitsu in Asia23:10 Royal Fight Club Samui26:15 Training in Phuket28:37 Carpe Diem BJJ34:15 Fully booked after Thailand36:20 The reason why the camp is popular39:41 Using the camps to prepare for competition42:28 ONE FC Pro Grappling43:40 We are from Poland man!44:02 ADCC trials reflections45:28 The accelerating level of Jiu-Jitsu47:22 Why Atos Jiu-Jitsu?51:28 What do you love about Jiu-Jitsu?53:55 Favourite competitors?56:47 "It's not only if you win, but how you fight"58:08 Future plans & goals59:59 What makes ADCC trials so challenging1:01:30 'It's just a matter of time'1:02:05 Could we see Mateusz in ONE?1:03:35 u77kg Euro trials bracket1:05:20 Rapid fire1:07:51 Gratitude-----------------------------===========================Connect with us! =============================IG: ➡︎ https://www.instagram.com/grplasia/IG: ➡︎ https://www.instagram.com/grappleasiapod/ FB: ➡︎ https://www.facebook.com/grplasia/===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Grapple Asia Podcast HERE===========================➡︎YT: https://www.youtube.com/@GRPLASIA ➡︎Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/grapple-asia-podcast/id1717848251➡︎Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XC4Ct28MhyxJRHe8dpP0j?si=4893974dfb24499f
