Hello all, this week on the  Advanced classes we are training the Kata Guruma or “Fireman’s Carry” take down. Also on the ground we are training the Two Hands Collar Choke and the beautiful Bow and Arrow Choke.

Here is a video with our Professors and Coaches performing the techniques on tournaments.

Remember, one of the differences between a White Belt and a Black Belt it is the time of training. The Black belt have already practice a specific technique more than 1000 times! So he can mastery it.The more we train the better we get!

Have a Great Week!

GB Team

Hi All,

Take a look at Professor Flavio’s blog for one more article complementing the series “The Five Fundamental Principles of the Gentle Art”. These articles are being written together with professor Marcio Feitosa and published at Tap Out Magazine every month.

The 5 Fundamental Principle of the Gentle Art: Effectiveness

Jigoro Kano was a man ahead of his time. He played a major role on developing the educational aspect of martial arts by realizing that it could benefit society in general and not just fighters or soldiers.

Blending vision, passion, and discipline, Kano made the worldwide expansion of his style of Jiu-Jitsu a life project.
