今天的照片当然少不了胡翔云的拍摄支持。因为他13：15后面有事，所以我们在课前先安排了照片的拍摄。
课后，由我们SHBJJ汇金馆总教练Ferasse老师做了发言。发言是用英语，原文如下：（感谢学员蒋炜琦现场做了同声翻译）
SHBJJ 20th year anniversary Speech
Many of you joined SHBJJ over the last 10 years, most of you during the last few years. So it makes sense that to celebrate the 20th year anniversary of SHBJJ, I tell you a bit about the story of the first BJJ school in Shanghai.
For myself, I joined SHBJJ in 2007, after a bit less than 1 year training with a group of Japanese in a local dojo on Maoming road. For a while, there was only 1 class per week on the weekend.
And so, a guy I was training with at that time told me about that other school, a Gracie Barra gym.
I went to check it out because they had classes about everyday, they had a black belt and many students already training there.
The main co-founder of SHBJJ, my teacher Stanley TAM, was still a blue belt at that time.
This was early 2000’s and jiujitsu really just started in China. There wasn’t many places to train, let alone good places with good teachers.
I felt in love with the school after my very first class and never looked away since then.
So, that’s my journey in a nutshell…
About SHBJJ, it has changed a lot since then…
- We were a bit more of an MMA gym at that time (I trained MMA for a few years at the beginning, even had a fight in Thailand. But with time, it slowly transitioned more and more into a gi-BJJ school).
- We’ve changed locations 6 times since then (started in Tianzi fang, then Dapu lu, Jumen lu, Shanxi lu, Lingling lu and now…)
I counted and from the TianZiFang days (our first location), 3 guys are still here: Jamison who teaches at CA, LiuFeng who teaches at Panda (Putuo) and myself.
- It used to be 80% foreigners / 20% chinese, now it’s more like 95% Chinese / 5% foreigners
The landscape of BJJ in China or at least in Shanghai changed a lot as well:
- I first competed in China when I was a blue belt, before that as far as I know, there was no competition. We had to go overseas to compete (I first competed in Japan as a white-belt, my teammates also competed in HK, Taiwan, Philippines…)
- Many schools opened during those years, almost of them by ex-SHBJJ students (all the schools that I know in Shanghai were opened by people I once trained with at SHBJJ).
If we are all here today, 20 years after the start of SHBJJ, it is of course because of people.
There are many many people to thank for that, many people came through the school and left a mark, because of their skills, because of their financial contribution, because of their personality…
To mention them all would not be possible, so I shrunk down the list to 3 people:
- Stanley TAM: the main co-founder of SHBJJ. My teacher. A passionate martial artist who managed to get fired by Disney and used the money he received as a compensation to grow the school (this is when we moved from TianZiFang - a space we shared with a dancing studio) to Dapu road (where it was our own space)
- Tony EDUARDO: also co-founder of SHBJJ. The only black-belt in town for a very long time, and a high-level black belt per se. At a time where online learning was not a thing yet, he was showing us what true beautiful BJJ was like.
- And Chen Yi: Chen Yi showed up in the SHBJJ story when we moved to Jumen lu. This was around 2010. He was selling tea at that time, in the same building as the school. He came and started to train with us. Not long after, he partnered up with Stan and helped in the promotion of SHBJJ and them of BJJ in China as a whole. GCJJF is a product of his for example. He may not train that much… but without him, the brand SHBJJ maybe wouldn’t have survived for 20 years
To finish, about philosophies that the founders of SHBJJ shared with us:
1- No matter why you started BJJ, whether it was to do a sport or to learn to fight, remember that BJJ is before anything else a martial art.
And that the foundations of Martial Arts are respect, self-discipline, loyalty.
In a world that is ever changing through technology and getting away from old traditions, practicing a strong Martial Art like BJJ is a great way to keep those important values alive
2- Even though on the surface, it feels like the importance is to win, keep in mind that we all have our own journeys, and that what really matters isn’t who’s the best today, who is better than you or who you are better than.
What really is the most important is that you keep training and keep showing up. Until you are an old man or old woman, just keep practicing jiujitsu. Do not quit. Do not stop.
Thank you very much!

SHBJJ成立20周年致辞
你们中的许多人在过去10年中加入了SHBJJ，其中大多数人是在过去几年中加入的。因此，为了庆祝SHBJJ成立20周年，我给大家讲讲上海第一所巴西柔术学校的故事是有道理的。
就我自己而言，我于2007年加入SHBJJ，当时我在茂名路的一个当地道场与一群日本人一起训练了不到1年。有一段时间，周末每周只有1节课。
所以，当时和我一起训练的一个人告诉我另一所学校，格雷西·巴拉（Gracie Barra）的体育馆。
我去看看，因为他们每天都有课，他们有黑带，很多学生已经在那里训练了。
SHBJJ的主要联合创始人，我的老师Stanley TAM，当时还是蓝带。
那是 2000 年代初，柔术在中国才刚刚开始。培训的地方不多，更不用说有好老师的好地方了。
第一堂课后，我就爱上了这所学校，从那时起就再也没有移开视线。
所以，简而言之，这就是我的旅程......
关于SHBJJ，从那时起发生了很大的变化......
- 那时候我们更像是一个综合格斗馆（一开始我训练了几年的综合格斗，甚至在泰国打过比赛。但随着时间的流逝，它慢慢地越来越多地过渡到gi-BJJ学校）。
- 从那时起，我们已经更换了 6 次地点（从田子坊泰康路开始，然后是打浦路、局门路、陕西南路、零陵路，直到现在的汇金......
我数了一下，从田子坊的日子（我们的第一个地点）开始，有3个人还在这里：在CA教书的Jamison，在Panda（虹口）教书的刘峰和我自己。
- 以前是80%的外国人/20%的中国人，现在更像是95%的中国人/5%的外国人
巴西柔术在中国或至少在上海的格局也发生了很大变化：
- 当我是蓝带时，我第一次在中国参加比赛，据我所知，在此之前，没有比赛。我们不得不去海外参加比赛（我首先在日本以白带身份参加比赛，我的队友也参加了香港、台湾、菲律宾的比赛......
- 在那些年里，许多学校都开办了，几乎都是由前SHBJJ学生开办的（我所知道的上海很多学校都是由曾经在SHBJJ接受过培训的人开办的）。
如果我们今天都在这里，在SHBJJ开始20年后，那当然是因为人。
有很多人要感谢，很多人通过学校并留下了印记，因为他们的技能，因为他们的经济贡献，因为他们的个性......
不可能一一提及，所以我将名单缩小到 3 个人：
- Stanley TAM：SHBJJ的主要联合创始人。我的老师。一个充满激情的武术家，他设法被迪斯尼解雇，并用他收到的钱作为补偿来发展学校（这是我们从田子坊——我们与舞蹈工作室共享的空间）搬到打浦路（那是我们自己独立的空间）
- 托尼·爱德华多（Tony EDUARDO）：也是SHBJJ的联合创始人。很长一段时间以来，在上海唯一的黑带，本身就是高级黑带。在在线学习还不流行的时候，他向我们展示了真正美丽的巴西柔术是什么样子的。
- 还有陈义：陈义出现在SHBJJ的故事中，我们搬到了局门路。那是在2010年左右。当时他卖茶，和学校在同一栋楼里。他来了，开始和我们一起训练。不久之后，他与斯坦合作，帮助推广SHBJJ和他们一起将巴西柔术在中国做了更多的推广。例如，GCJJF就是他们一起开创的。他可能不会训练那么多......但如果没有他，SHBJJ这个品牌可能活不了20年。
最后，关于SHBJJ创始人（Stan老师）与我们分享的理念：
1- 无论你为什么开始巴西柔术，无论是做运动还是学习格斗，请记住巴西柔术首先是一门武术。
武术的基础是尊重、自律、忠诚。
在一个通过技术不断变化并摆脱旧传统的世界中，练习像巴西柔术这样强大的武术是保持这些重要价值观的好方法。
2- 尽管从表面上看，感觉重要的是获胜，但请记住，我们都有自己的旅程，真正重要的不是今天谁是最好的，谁比你更好，或者你比谁更好。
真正最重要的是你继续训练，不断出现。直到你成为一个老男人或老女人，只要继续练习柔术。不要放弃。不要停下来。
谢谢！
今天很开心，见到了许多老朋友。越是困难的时候，我们越需要相互鼓励，打气，抱团取暖。创业难，守业更难。这么多年真的很感激我们全体教练团队，还有所有学员的信任和支持。是你们共同成就了SHBJJ。
一直以来，我心里就一个信念，帮助更多伙伴了解柔术，帮助学员们获得成长，帮助教练们能过上体面的生活。
希望再过20年，我们能再一次聚在一起。
