Semper Fortis Jiu Jitsu

Domingo's Brazilian Jiu Jiitsu black belt promotion speech. He is truly an inspiration to us all and a true friend. Very proud of my dear friend.

Today was a great day. I had the honor of promoting my dear friend and longtime student Domingo to black belt. Domingo started training with me 10 years ago and has worked so hard to overcome any obstacles in his way. He is truly an inspiration to us all.

Brazilian Jiu Jiitsu seminar with Luiz Palhares working on an Americana submission from side control when your opponent tries to defend against the near side armbar.

During the Luiz Palhares Jiu Jiitsu seminar we worked on a transition from the near Side armbar from side control to the Americana submission when the person on bottom uses their far side arm to try and block your leg from stepping over their head.

One of the secrets to effective BJJ attacks is knowing the common defenses to your attacks and knowing what attack to chain to your primary attack when they try to defend.

Training Brazilian Jiu Jiitsu with my teenage daughter. The drill is to go for a near side armbar from side control and when the person attempts to block your leg with their arm then transition to an Americana lock.
