Hey guys, my name is Chris Herzog and I'm absolutely pumped by the opportunity to welcome you to Zogipedia.com, an online encyclopedia of training tips, tactics, and techniques I've refined over a lifetime of training and practice.

The past 35 years of my life has been filled with amazing opportunities to train under legendary and revolutionary martial artists, combat sports gurus and world champions alike giving me a unique perspective into the world of Martial Arts.

From a young age, I knew I wanted to become a teacher, coach and purveyor of martial skills and knowledge, and I quickly began setting the foundation for what would become a lifelong effort in pursuit of what truly is combat functional.

The first 16 years of my martial arts journey was focused mostly on traditional martial arts acquiring blackbelts in a number of "classical" styles. A variety of factors led to a change in my perspective on training, including working at detention center and security at a number of nightclubs. I quickly found there were major flaws in the technical application, strategies and the methods in which these skills were trained. My quest for functionality led me to Combat Sports/Martial Arts such as Judo, Sambo, Kickboxing, MMA and 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu and my journey took a drastic turn!

For the past ten years I’ve been sharing this knowledge via seminars and free instructional videos. However, I’m now able to share this information in a precise, organized manner at an extremely affordable cost.

Get access to my seminars, strategies and techniques alongside those skills and philosophies of some of my favorite martial artists and instructors!

Although the site will be focusing primarily on No Gi Jiu Jitsu, Sambo and Judo, I’ll also be sharing some tips and tactics employed by my kickboxers and MMA fighters as well!

This site is designed to give you insight and practical knowledge used to increase the functionality of your grappling and martial arts skills.

In the interest of improving the state of martial arts worldwide, I’m offering complete access to Zogipedia.com at an affordable $5 per month. It is my hope that the low price tag will allow everyone the opportunity to improve their practice.

So please join me as we journey together on the path to find real, functional skills and techniques that actually work under duress and weed out those which muddy the waters!
