SAN DIEGO ABU DHABI WPJJ TRIALS FINALLY SET!

The final qualifying event for the 2012 Abu Dhabi WPJJ has been scheduled to take place March 10 and 11 in San Diego, California. Point Loma High School gymnasium, the very venue where the 2011 tryouts were held, is the chosen venue.

This tournament will mark the last Abu Dhabi Trials before the actual World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship in April. Rafael Dallinha, coordinator for the San Diego Trials, says the event is a five-star trials, compared to some of the others that have been three- or four-star affairs. “What that means is that we are going to be giving away a lot of tickets to Dubai,” Rafael says, “And not just plane tickets. This includes hotel, food, registration – everything. It’s going to be a huge event.”

Rafael says he expects to see a big crowd this year, since this is the last trials before the main event in April. “We are ready for everyone and excited to see all the great contests that will occur at the tournament,” Rafael says.

If you need information about sponsorship or how to get to the San Diego trials, please contact Rafael at rafabjj@hotmail.com.

NEW JAY PAGES JIU-JITSU BLUE BELT! MATT LINCOLN!

Last weekend served as our last belt and stripes promotion for the year. Every promotion I always do something different. The structure always remains the same, however I always throw in a curve during the promotion. This promotion had only one individual testing for their belt. My affiliate in Maricopa, Matt Lincoln. I wanted him to earn his belt and earn his belt he did! And then some! He did the technical requirements of the test as required, then he went on to the sparring portion of the test. He went a minute with everyone! 20 minutes total and straight without rest! Here’s the curve ball! He also did a minute with everyone standing up. Just doing take downs and throws. That’s 40 total minutes of sparring with only 2 minutes of rest! Congratulation Matt Lincoln, you more than earned that belt! He did a fantastic job, and I couldn’t be any prouder to have him as my blue belt.

FANTASTIC SEMINAR WITH MARCELO ALONSO!

This past weekend played host to a number of events. Events such as the Ultimate Fighter Finale and a Boxing event headlined by Cotto vs Margarito! Another major event that took place was the Marcelo Alonso BJJ seminar and belt promotion. The seminar took place at Ruffhouse Jiu-Jitsu in Mesa AZ. The seminar consisted of 3 hours of solid technique that both beginner and advanced players could add to their repertoire of BJJ techniques. As a BJJ Black Belt for 3+ years and as an avid participant in seminars I have to say I was thoroughly impressed with the information and how the information was conveyed. Marcelo’s teaching method was playful and the way he taught made the information stick. The seminar fantastic and we all had a great time and learned a ton! Time flew by so quick, I looked at the clock and saw the seminar was almost over. For others thinking about hosting professor Alonso, DO IT! Don’t hesitate! Do it! You won’t be disappointed!

Muito Obrigado Professor for a Fantastic Seminar! I look forward to training with you again.

SAMIR CHANTRE BJJ SEMINAR A HIT!

First off, I would like to thank Samir for coming out to do the seminar and to all the participants that came out as well. This was my first BJJ seminar that I’ve hosted and it was a huge success! We went over technique that was easy to follow, easy to execute, and has high success rates. One of the thing that stood out the most to me was that he didn’t just jumble a bunch of technique together and throw it out there to us, he gave us all related technique from one particular position from point A to point B. An occurrence in seminars rarely seen. Another thing that stood out was that he gave us a good amount of time to drill. Not too long, and not too short. The way he had the seminar laid out was brilliant! High percentage technique in a format that was extremely conducive to information retention and muscle memory commitment. This seminar is a first of many more seminars to come with Samir. Stay tuned for future seminars! Again, thank you Samir for coming out for the seminar, thank you to those that came out, and thank you to FighterTech for sponsoring the event!
