Meet the team
Rama Halim
Founder and Blue Belt
I’m Rama, a finance professional with a serious addiction to BJJ, and founder of BJJinsights.com.
I train out of Coffs Combat Academy as a blue belt under Shane Cassidy and Daniel “Jacare” Almeida (Team Lead). I first became involved in martial arts at the age of 19, having competed in a number of amateur MMA competitions whilst studying at university.
These days you’ll find on the mats ~2-3 times a week, in between surfing and hanging with the family.
Robert Diserens
Writer and Brown Belt
I’m Robert, I’ve trained martial arts since childhood and have experience competing in BJJ, MMA, Catch Wrestling, Muay Thai and Tae Kwon Do. Now I train out of Elements BJJ (checkmat Brighton) and I’m a brown belt in BJJ.
My current focus is on competing in no-gi grappling, but I love the cultural and historical side of martial arts in general.
I enjoy nerding out on grappling and applying science to the sport.
