Taught by his father, the Great Pahlevaan Amir Esmaeli, Saeed’s tutelage began at the age of 9 in Tehran. Connected to such legends of the sport as Golem Reza Takhti, and Alexander Medved, their move to Britain in the 1980’s transported this much-lauded legacy of Iranian wrestling. Saeed became a stand out wrestler over the next ten years, and would go on to be coached by luminaries Kevin Darius, Azziz Kiani, and Aleksander Chicon. After winning dozens of tournaments, Saeed earned an Olympic Passport to train in Team GB for the Atlanta 1996, and Sydney 2000 games. Following his retirement from competition and the sad passing of his father, Saeed’s attention turned to coaching. Studying in meticulous detail the masterful techniques of coaches Jon Smith and Sergei Blaglazov, Saeed has gone on to be described as the “most influential wrestling coach in Europe today”. Saeed’s unique approach toward coaching, which he has termed “movement analysis”, has rapidly garnered attention outside of the wresting room, and his skills have been sought across several martial arts disciplines. Influenced by his prestigious career as a jazz dancing champion, Saeed’s implicit understand of movement and space have allowed for the fast tracking of learning for world class athletes plus collaborative seminars, including BJJ legends Leo Viera and Marcus Bucheche, Roger Gracie, Braulio Estima, Cícero Costha, Rolles Gracie Jr., Nino Schembri (to name only some ). This cross pollination has continued into the world of Muay Thai, where has worked with world class coachers such as Tony Myers, and athletes such as Dean James and Thailand Pinsing Chai. Saeed is also firmly entrenched as the UK’s premier wrestling coach for MMA athletes, with a long list of top fighters developing wrestling through the Esmaeli method. Today Saeed works with dozens of schools across Europe, including Croatia, Italy, Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, Belgium, and Portugal. His attentions have increasingly turned toward the psychology of coaching, with Saeed offers his athletes pre-fight and corner strategies, as well as practical techniques to develop and retain resilience, which he has coined “Wrest-lient”, following the near mythical mental toughness possessed by Wrestlers across the ages.

I was fortunate in my time to work with some of the top fighters on the martial arts scene, trained numerous champions and taken fighters to some of the top fight shows in the world. I am on a continuous journey to improve myself. As part of this quest I've attended numerous seminars and clinics through which I have gained valuable coaching techniques and strategies. However at the top of the pile is Saeed who has exhibited knowledge and expertise beyond my expectations and is by far the best coach I have come across. So impressed was I by Saeed’s unique blend of precision instruction and technical knowledge base, that I invited him to teach our pro fight team, which for many years was one of the top MMA teams in the UK. Saeed transformed the wrestling abilities of those in the team, and equipped them with skills that allowed them to perform at the highest levels in fight shows such as the K1, Pride FC and The UFC. He comes from the highest wrestling pedigree and this is evident in the way he passes on his knowledge. It is always hard to write an appraisal of someone who so excels at what they do, without sounding s if it is contrived, but Saeed is the real deal and mo it has been one of the biggest privileges of my life to work with such a genius in the wrestling field". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b09548d3917ee795f77765e/1594315638084-FLNGAGA49KQB6IO9YVRW/Screenshot+2020-07-09+at+18.22.00.png News KBJJ BJJ programme for schools https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b09548d3917ee795f77765e/1565263476498-T157S4FX0VU4ZLY2G7H1/Roger+Gracie+Summer+Camp%2C+Spain+2019 News http://rogergraciebjjcamp.com/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b09548d3917ee795f77765e/d7cace9f-eaf5-41c6-9ab5-e553657f6893/IMG_1349.png News -
