East Coast Elite a member of the TEAM MORAES family was honored to once again have one of MMA's most sought after BJJ coach, Prof. Diego Moraes on the mats. Prof. Diego Moraes just a few days prior led Anthony "Showtime" Pettis to the UFC Lightweight Championship over Benson Henderson. The seminar had everyone in the Daytona area excited to learn from one of the best.
Prof. Diego Moraes along with his brother, Daniel Moraes, are founders of the prestigious group-TEAM MORAES.

Prof. Diego Moraes was the head BJJ coach for Joe Warren's Team Rhyno on Spike TV's FIGHT MASTER tv show.
Diego demonstrated some awesome techniques from mount and side control. Everyone left very pleased with the techniques shared. "The best seminar ever!" was said by many participants of the event that was filled with awesomeness for three hours.
