Sacramento Jiu-Jitsu Academy Produces 10 “Top 50” Athletes in the IBJJF Rankings – BJJGrappling.com

Sac BJJ School Produces Results from Top to Bottom
Empirical Evidence Demonstrating the Quality of BJJ in Sacramento

Recently, there is a new website quantifying IBJJF results into rankings.  Their attention to detail was good enough that I have included it in my post of bjj rankings.

I was pretty ecstactic to see a number of my teammates at our Sac BJJ School ranked in the top 50 in the world!

This news definitely reinforces that our instructor is doing something right.  I suppose there IS a method to his madness after all.  Seeing so many of our Sac bjj school athletes do well in the rankings further inspires me to compete more often.  The only barrier keeping me from competing last year was financial.

However, I have been putting a lot of efforts to change that.  Should my circumstances change, I will be competing MUCH more often.

This bjj seminar short film was shot on location (lol) in Bend, Oregon at Roy Dean’s academy.  This is the second bjj seminar that Marcos has held at Roy Dean’s academy.  In addition to the seminar [Read more…] about Marcos “Yemaso” Torregrosa BJJ Seminar at Roy Dean Academy – BJJGrappling.com

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the Imperial Valley is Top Notch BJJ for Anyone Looking to Lose Weight

The Mats at Morales Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in El Centro, CA

 

I just wanted to give a shout out to Robert Morales for allowing me to train at his bjj academy in the Imperial Valley.  I go down to the Imperial Valley to visit family during the holidays every year.  And, for quite some time now, I have never been able to get any training in.  I just could not find a place to save my life!  I tried google searches, facebook searches, and even asking friends if they knew about a bjj academy in the Imperial Valley.  I was finally pointed to a place during my visit on Thanksgiving.  But, when I went to the location I was told, it was a different business altogether.  When I found it in December [Read more…] about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the Imperial Valley is Top Notch BJJ for Anyone Looking to Lose Weight
