It’s that time of year again!

The kids are back in school, vacation is just a memory, the traffic is horrible, it’s cold.  So what’s the point of even going outside?

The point being that during the colder months, people get depressed, they get out of shape and they put things off until spring.  Instead, make a significant change in your life now!

Come out to the Rosendo Diaz Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy and get ready to experience the premier martial arts academy in the Montgomery County and Bucks County areas.  Learn self defense, get fit and train in the most effective martial arts styles being taught today.  Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the art that is sweeping the nation.  As seen on UFC, the art of grappling is essential.  So much so that jiu-jitsu has been integrated into our Military’s hand to hand combat curriculum.  BJJ is also the style of choice for most law enforcement officers.

So give us a call today and take advantage of our free two weeks of training offer or click here.

See you on the mats!!!

It’s been quite a year for us here at the RDBJJ Academy.  So much has happened this year that we don’t have enough space to write it all, but some of the most amazing news has come just in the last 4 months.

 
In August we moved to our new facilty which more than doubled the space we had in Telford which allowed us to have more mat space, a pro-shop and many other amenities.

 
In October we had Royler Gracie out for what turned out to be our biggest seminar ever with 52 members in attendance.  We also promoted several individuals including three black belts.

November started off with our kids program, and we had our first yellow belt, my son Jake, who after many years of training tested for his yellow.  Coming soon we’ll be posting a video of his test.

 
Rick Royce and Brett Hoover both opened their own training facilities, we wish them both all the best of luck.

 
And finally to all our new members since our arrival in Chalfont:
John Taube
Brian Plajer
Fred Koslowksi
Paul Blackway
Gerald Laird
Andrew McCarthy
Jason Kifner
Patrick Benner

 
2010 looks to be even better with the establishment of new programs, some exciting events and the growth of our academy.  Hope you all can make it in to visit us.  All the best to you in this new year!

Student Summer Membership Program

It’s that time of year again…sun, fun and the best time to work off those extra pounds.   Training in the art of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu can provide you with an unparalleled level of fitness.  No matter what shape you’re in, you can count on our training programs to get you back to where you want to be.

You can also take the opportunity to learn from our self defense programs.  These programs provide you with the tools you’ll need to stay safe and be confident. 

 
Contact us today and get started on your new path.

This week we are fortunate to have Megaton demonstrate a wrist lock from the guard.

Have you checked out our featured videos lately?  If not, just scroll down and find our featured videos on the right side of our home page. 

Each week we search YouTube and other sites to find the best videos about Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, BJJ, MMA and Self Defense. 

This week’s video features Rickson Gracie’s breathing and yoga method.  This video really shows a different aspect of Jiu-Jitsu not usually seen or talked about.  Jiu-Jitsu is not just about submitting an opponent in a UFC type event, nor is it just about Self Defense, it’s so much more.  This video focuses on the general health and mental well being that training in this amazing martial art provides. 

You will hear many Jiu-Jitsu practitioners talk about the “jiu-jitsu lifestyle”, the flexibility, strength development and most importantly the overall feeling of relaxation of the mind that is to most just as important as the development of the fighting skill set of Jiu-Jitsu. 

Check it out; let us know what you think.

For more information about our academy please contact us.

These are the results from Saturday, May 23 UFC event.
