BJJUnderdog.com is the brain child of Sheri Hockman. This 38 years old mother of three has been training the better part of 8 years in Jiu-Jitsu and has seen many ups and downs. She has created this blog to help and inspire those of us who consider themselves to be underdogs in the art. Who is an Underdog? Anyone and everyone that can honestly say that they have areas that they can improve on. Check it out!
From the site:
BJJ underdogs are grappling practioners at any level
who are expected to lose the fight because of
size limitations, age, inexperience, gender, weakness,
lack of speed, endurance deficits or compromised flexibility.
Are you an ”underdog” who continues to thrive in this
“top dog” sport?

Are you sick of the rampaging masses at the malls on Black Friday? Are you sick of the idea of spending more “quality time” with the family? Does it feel like you put on 20 pounds overnight because of gluttonous eating? Then come on down for the 2nd Annual ALL DAY AFTER TURKEY DAY ROLL!!!
By ALL DAY, we mean ALL DAY. Come in when you want, leave when you want. You can even come in, roll, leave, and come back again later. Those of you brave (or crazy) enough can stay ALL DAY. You can grab meals at the nearby eateries, recover, and train some more. That’s what a few of us plan on doing. Why? Because we have no lives…Errr…I mean, because we LOVE Jiu-Jitsu. Yeah, that’s it.
So, come on down and roll. Roll until your heart’s content or it actually gives out. Whichever one comes first. Be there or be square. Just like the pegs that some of you keep trying to put into the round holes.
Date: Friday, November 25, 2011 from 10:30am to 9:00pm
We will also be holding a class that day lead by Rosendo Diaz from 12pm to 1pm. Catch you there!

Huge congratulations to Royler Gracie for stepping into the ring one last time against a very skilled and seasoned Masakatsu Ueda at the Amazon Forest Combat event held this past weekend.
Royler stepped into the ring against an opponent who has only seen defeat once in his career and has won his last 3 MMA matches against top players such as Rumina Sato and Eduardo Dantas.
Royler is a true warrior and champion of the Gracie Family. We at the Rosendo Diaz Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy and Team 3rd Generation wish Master Gracie all the best and look forward to his continued teachings.
In my years of teaching Jiu-Jitsu to hundreds of students, I have found that each person brings his own set of skills, knowledge and ability into the academy. Each of those qualities helps the student to improve over time, while some may see success almost immediately, the majority of students need time to understand the techniques taught and drill those moves so that over time they become reaction rather than thought.
Typically, those interested in learning Jiu-Jitsu can be broken down into 3 major categories.
The Empty Cup
These are people who have interest in learning the Jiu-Jitsu for sport, MMA or self defense who have no prior training in the martial arts or wrestling. Having no prior experience can be a plus to learning Jiu-Jitsu in terms of being more accepting of the “fight strategy” that Jiu-Jitsu employs. As well, those with no experience generally come into the academy with a great interest, having seen our art used in the UFC and other MMA type events. They understand the effectiveness of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and tend to have a great deal of trust in the techniques of the art, having trust in the techniques can often be one of the biggest parts of becoming a good Jiu-Jitsu player.
The Black Belt
These are students that come in with some amount of experience in other arts such as; Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Judo, Aikido and Kung Fu to name but a few. There are many advantages to having prior experience in other martial arts such as having an established training discipline as well Martial Artist tend to have excellent coordination and can easily begin to develop their ground skills rather quickly. In many instances, many of the martial artist that come to our academy are looking to add the ground or takedown game to their existing arsenal of stand up fighting techniques. This is one of the best parts of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as it does not attempt to convert a practitioner away from their tried and true method of self defense, instead it only looks to add to it by providing the practitioner with valuable information that their current art may not fully cover.
The Wrestler
High school and collegiate wrestlers have the most success at the beginning of their training. Wrestlers already bring in a deep understanding of takedowns as well as controlling and transitioning movements on the ground. Wrestlers also bring in an intensity that is hard to match. Their coordination for the ground game is already in place in most cases and in short order once they understand the “rules” of how we approach the fight on the ground can modify their wrestling to enhance the techniques they will learn in our academy.
In the end, each individual regardless of their experience or athletic ability brings his own skill set and ability to learn and accept the techniques of Jiu-Jitsu. Some students “get it” quickly while others take some time, but in the end I can say that I’ve never had a student who was not able to use the techniques successfully. Every person who is interested in learning the art of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and commits to it will in the end find success on the mats.
Want to see us in action teaching, training and testing for promotion then please visit our YouTube Channel. You’ll get to see our members competing in various tournaments, commercials about Jiu-Jitsu and MMA as get to see several cool technique demonstrations. Click on the link below.
Please join us on Friday, September 16, 2011 for our very first White Belts Only class. This class will focus on the basics of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, developing a sound defensive game as well we’ll be teaching the class how to “flow roll”. This class is open to all members of the Rosendo Diaz Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy and 3rd Generation Jiu-Jitsu Team members. Class will start at 6:30pm and run until 8:30pm.
Starting Monday, September 5 it’s Armlock week at the Rosendo Diaz Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy. Each month we take a position, transition, submission and we train it until you’ve taken your game up to the next level. There’s nothing better than focusing on a specific technique, training it and ingraining it into your mind, that helps to improve your overall skills.
So come on out on the 5th and for those of you considering our academy..take that week and the next and take advantage of this great opportunity to “kick the tires” so to speak. Get in some great fitness training, learn effective self defense and expand your mind at the Rosendo Diaz Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy located in the heart of Bucks County.
