This is a great video I picked up over at my friend’s site, www.kingdavidhogan.com. Check it out, it features Dana White and Mike Tyson talking about the upcoming James Toney vs Randy Couture match as well as mixed martial arts. I’ll never forget watching his fight against Michael Spinks on HBO, you just knew that Tyson had won that match even before he walked to the ring.
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.
See you on the mats!!!
Help the 3rd Generation Jiu-Jitsu Team take 1st place in Philly’s Hot Spot. Each vote counts towards us making our goal. Thanks for your support!

Much thanks and appreciation go out to Samuel Braga for putting on one of the best seminars ever held at the RDBJJ Academy.

Also, thanks to Gavin Enck for making this event happen! Can’t wait until Samuel’s next visit!

These patches are dye sublimated meaning the ink is permanently tattoed into the fibers of the patch fabric. There is no paint on top to rub off, crack, peel or stick to the mat.
Our patches are 12″x12″ and the symbol is 8″ across.
While competition is not for everyone, some really enjoy the challenge that it brings and the lessons that can be learned from them. In the following video you will see one of our students, Dylan Royce, competing at a no-gi match or more commonly referred to as a submission grappling match on April 17, 2010. Dylan is the one with short hair.

1. I just have to lose a few pounds or get in better shape before I start.
That’s our job. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu provides a full body workout. You don’t have to be in good shape to start, you just have to start and we’ll get you in the best shape of your life and we guarantee that you’ll see results quickly with our fun, energetic programs.
2. My schedule is crazy and I’ll probably not have the time to invest.
Your schedule will always be crazy, no matter what point in your life you’ll reach. Find the time today for yourself. Jiu-Jitsu isn’t just about training, it’s a lifestyle. Ask any of our members, Jiu-Jitsu brings peace and confidence into your life. At our academy you’ll find that you quickly become one of the family and you’ll enjoy coming to academy to forget about the craziness of life for a while.
3. I don’t want to show up to work after class with a black eye or injury.
At the RDBJJ Academy we have doctors, lawyers, plumbers, realtors, mechanics, dog trainers, sales people and so on..You name it, we’ve got them here. All of our members have a day job and your safety is our upmost concern.
4. BJJ is all about competition and I’ll be forced to compete if I join.
Competition is a big thing at Jiu-Jitsu academies, but the truth is that only a small percentage of students ever really compete. Most of our members are looking to learn self defense, get in better shape or just interested in learning this amazing art. In the end we are all training for the same purpose and that is mastery of one’s self through the art of Jiu-Jitsu. Competition is a great way for some to challenge themselves, but for most, the challenge is in the academy, learning and perfecting the art.
5. It’s one of those deals, they’ll reel me in with a cheap price and then next thing you know, the prices go up and up and up.
At the RDBJJ Academy, the price we give you for your monthly training will never change, no matter how long you train at our academy. Also, our monthly rates are fair compared with other programs of this caliber.
Now what’s your reason not to join? We invite you to come and take our two (2) week free trial membership at the academy. Take the two weeks, train as much as you like, meet our members and instructors, we guarantee you a great experience.
