In 2007, while Vladimir (Vladi) still studies in Germany and comes back home in Bulgaria for the Christmas Holidays, his younger brother – Borislav (Bobi) is his main training partner for his preparation for an upcomming grappling competition in Germany. They both exchange techniques in the corner of the Judo Dojo in the training complex “Deskrim”, when they meet Sensei Edi Geranov (the man, who started grappling trainings and tournaments in Bulgaria several years ago). The brothers show their interest to this martial art and Edi invites Bobi to start training in the club he founded. With the years passing, Bobi does not stop searching for a way to learn and develop and when the weekend training group disintegrate, with Vladi’s aid from distance, he starts training sessions in grappling  and brazilian jiu jitsu by himself. An year later Vladi returns to Bulgaria permanently and they decide to found Twisted Jiu Jitsu Academy, so they can develop Brazilian Jiu Jitsu the way they have always believed it should be done:

“We created it because of our love to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and our desire this sport to develop in Bulgaria.”
