Double shot in Florida: Seminar + Tournament
We had an incredible busy and productive weekend in Sarasota, FL for instructors and students. We had
a great time training with the WBJJA instructors from Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas and Virginia that attended
our clinic from Friday to Sunday. We surprised them signing them up to compete on Saturday morning and they did very well
winning fights and some divisions! Talking about the students now, we think they are ready to compete at the State tournament
in two weeks. We will keep you posted!
 And below is the picture with the Instructors that attended our Summer Clinic
in Florida this year. From left to right: Manny Alves, Carl Tolbert, Rick Van Auker, Billy Rials, Tom Bloomfield, Norman Vaden
& Thadeu Vieira. Congratulations to Norman Vaden that was the only one to test and is now promoted to Blue Belt!

Professor Vieira,
Thank you for a wonderful seminar (kids and adults). All of
my students that attended (about 90%) had a great time and were amazed with your level of skill and knowledge. I
also personally enjoyed our training sessions and having the opportunity to get to know you better. Next time you come
up we'll go shooting! See you in Brazil next month!

WBJJA 2009 Florida Ranking
 As one of our goals this year, the promotion of regional tournaments among our associate
schools are very important for the strengh of our team. Students and instructors gain the experience necessary in order to
send our athletes to official tournaments.
Our first event just happened this past weekend in Nokomis, FL and it was
a huge success. Neat and efficient organization and superior technical quality.
In my perspective, it was an amazing
achievement as this affiliate school that hosted the event is primarily a Tae Kwon Do school and has incorporated
our WBJJA program for about 18 months. Today, this dojo is also a genuine BJJ factory. Click here on this link to see some pictures and videos of the event. Thanks to the instructor Thomas Bloomfield for all your support!

PUERTO RICO
 On 02/28/09 I had the pleasure of visiting our instructors in Puerto Rico as
I was their special guest for the major MMA event on the island. All of our 4 guys showed great stand up skills and an efficient
jiu-jitsu. Four wins! That was a great night! Click here to watch the main event with Bernie Ramos.
The next day we conducted an instructor clinic with Vidiver Vazquez, Wilfredo
Garcia and Ramon Vazquez. These guys demonstrated superior technical quality and the weekend was very productive. Keep up
the good work cabrons!
NAGA
We went to Rhode Island this past weekend. Took about 11 guys. They performed well... They gave me
about 3 months worth of lesson plans, but they did pretty well considering experience and nerves. We came home with 6
firsts, 5 seconds and 3 thirds. There were some pretty large teams there. One with a total of 70 guys...They won the team
trophy with about 1270 points... We had almost 600 (and 2 guys missed their gi divisions). All and all a good day. Click here to watch a video!! Lots was learned. Next stop the Arnold!

Grand Master Helio Gracie - 01/29/2009
Nosso Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu acaba de perder seu Patriarca, o Grão Mestre
Helio Gracie, que faleceu nesse
dia 29 de janeiro de 2009, mas que soube viver esses longos anos com sabedoria e perseverança, nos deixando um grande
legado que significa "seguir em frente tornando cada vêz mais o Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu uma arte marcial digna de seu devido respeito".
Peço a todos que durante essa semana que se inicia, durante 7 dias, utilizem em seus kimonos uma
"tarja preta" no braço esquerdo e no inicio e no final dos treinos façam 1 minuto de silêncio em homenagem ao Grão Mestre
Helio Gracie.
Desejo a todos Bons Treinos e Boa Sorte!
