This past weekend we had our belt ceremony. It went over great and I was really pleased to see how happy everyone who was promoted to their new belts were and they all had huge smiles on their faces.

Also thanks to all the team mates who showed up to support the promotions even when they knew they weren’t getting promoted. Great camaraderie!

Please go to the Jiu Jitsu Facebook Fanpage to check out the pix.

We had our first ever tailgating party this past Friday night in the back of the academy. Wow, was it ever better then I imagined it might be! At least 30 people showed up for this first one and where I thought it was going to end by 9 pm, it ended up that we were having fun until about 11.

We started the party by Juicing all different fruits and vegetables for a post workout recovery, but of course not long after the party moved on to more adult flavored beverages.

Everyone was clamoring for more of these, so we will be doing again in a few months.

The free class with Rodrigo Gracie has been moved to 5/23. I will see you all then…

Free Class with Rodrigo Gracie

My good friend Rodrigo Gracie will be coming to teach class here next Wednesday, May 9 from 6-8pm. All adults are welcome. There is no extra charge for this special class. Rodrigo just wanted to come and meet you guys before he comes out in June to teach a full seminar.

Next Wednesday’s class will be gi for the first hour and then half an hour of no gi. After that we will be rolling.

I hope everyone shows up in full force. I learned tons from Rodrigo when we used to train together for years in the NYC academy. He has a very aggressive game and is always looking for the finish.

Mario Delgado’s Seminar

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it out to Mario’s seminar this holiday weekend. Attendance was a little lower then usual because of the holidays but quite a few of those who attended told me it may have been the best seminar yet.

He showed some killer foot locks and some really funky functional attacks from the kimura to back or armbar.

I will try and get him here again as soon as possible.

What a fantastic annual BBQ we had this past weekend. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it out to the picnic.

Once again it didn’t end until the sun went down. Adults playing beach volleyball and football as well as the kids. I know the kids had a blast bobbing for apples and having races.

Every year the party just gets bigger and bigger. I am looking forward to next years as well. Who knows, maybe we will do one twice a year bigger everyone was clamoring for more

We had our first Women’s Self Defense Seminar this past weekend. It went over so well that many of the participants have asked for a sequel. So we will for sure follow up with another one within the next couple of months.

Look out criminals or even annoying boyfriends, brothers or husbands. These ladies learned some nasty rear naked chokes and knees to the groin.

We had also gone over some other self defense techniques as well as how to avoid even getting into trouble in the first place and what to do to divert a problem when it starts.

Some of the other techniques we will be working on in the future in that class besides going over past moves to make sure they are imbedded in our muscle memory is more self defense techniques as well as tactics to employ when you are being accosted by a carjacker. Also we will learn more gun handling as well as gun retention and disarming.

Here are a few pix of these newly empowered women!

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it to the Charity event and grand opening this past weekend. What a fantastic turnout and fun party it turned out to be.

A big part of that obviously for the Jiu Jitsu students is that Renzo Gracie was here teaching class and hung out with us all day and night. I am glad now everyone got the opportunity to see why I have so much respect for Renzo. There aren’t many people out there better then him in any aspect. I think you’ll agree.

Also the fact that Sam Madison spent so much time and was so approachable with everyone was a great treat. We just about reached our goal for the charity that he heads. Thank you to everyone who was able to donate.

What a great Holiday Party and Belt Ceremony – 12/12/11

What a great Holiday Party and Belt Ceremony we had this past weekend. We handed out about 21 new belts.

It’s been four years now that the academy is open and I am very proud of the way the youth and adults have progressed in their ability. I am very confident that our students can compete well with any school in the country belt for belt.

Even more important, the quality of personality that I see from everyone and the camaraderie among teammates is really inspiring.

Here is the list of everyone that was promoted this past weekend. Remember, there are a bunch more happening real soon for some of the people who couldn’t make it to the party.

Congratulations to all of you on overcoming the many obstacles it’s taken to get where you are and to still look forward to the long fruitful road to Black Belt!
