Congratulations to our newest blue belts, Anthony Caruso and Dean Lewis.  Both have been training for a little over a year and half, overcoming many hurtles to reach this point.  Well done guys!

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not just what you see on the Ultimate Fighting Championships, it’s so much more!  Helio Gracie, the creator of modern day Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, founded his art on the concept of realistic self defense using the body and leverage to defeat a larger,stronger opponent. 

Self Defense
Unlike learning a set of specific moves to defend against an attacker, training at the Rosendo Diaz Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy emphasizes the fundamentals of position and leverage. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training is specifically designed to use these fundamentals instead of strength, allowing a smaller person to defend and maneuver a larger person.  In the course of training, students will encounter uncomfortable positions that allow a calmness of mind and maturity to develop. Rosendo Diaz Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy students, espcially women, feel more confident in potentially threatening situations because of the familiarity they have developed along with realistic expectations.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) training integrates the skills needed for self-defense while blending an incredible strength, conditioning and flexibility workout. Our program mixes standup skills and ground defense in an atmosphere that promotes fun and fitness. Not only will you learn to defend yourself, but you will develop stamina and increased alertness.

We understand that students that begin training jiu-jitsu have different abilities and motivations. It is our goal to provide each of these students, regardless of their size or strength, the means by which to defend themselves.

The self-defense program at the Rosendo Diaz Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy is based on the curriculum developed at the Gracie Academy in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

At the Rosendo Diaz Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy we offer Kid’s Jiu-Jitsu and Teen’s Jiu-Jitsu programs.

 
The type of martial art taught at the academy decended from Japan and was adapted for real world self defense by Helio Gracie.  Master Gracie’s concepts allowed a smaller person, utilizing leverage, to defeat a larger strong opponent.

 
The discipline and self confidence that kids aquire in our programs empowers them to more effectively handle problems including bullying.  We help kids develop active, healthy lifestyles and build character, self-esteem and interpersonal skills necessary for peaceful conflict resolution while stressing the importance of safety.  But more importantly to them, they’ll be having fun, getting fit and learning one of the most effective and powerful martial arts being taught today.

 
What sets Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu apart from other martial arts is it’s empahsis on practicality and real-world performance.  Your child in not going to memorize forms or kata.  They will not learn to chop and kick the air or break boards.  They are going to learn realistic and proven techniques for self defense, just like adults, in a fun, friendly and safe atmosphere.

Call today, we’ll be happy to set up an introductory lesson for your child.  We are conveniently located in Telford which is within minutes of Quakertown, Perkasie, Sellersville, Souderton, Harleysville, Lansdale, Doylestown, Montgomeryville and the Lehigh Valley.

The Benefits of Private Lessons

Private lessons, while not typical in most styles of martial arts, has become a major part of training and development of the overall jiu-jitsu game. For the beginner, the private lesson provides the student with a strong base from which to expand his/her training. Your instructor will focus on the specifics of the basics and will give you the tools to enable you to self correct your game.

For the intermediate or advanced student, private lessons give them a chance to work on developing a specific game. It can also be beneficial for working on problem areas. Overall private lessons with your instructor, regardless of your training level, will give the tools to super charge your training!

Sport Jiu-Jitsu
The name may be misleading but this section is meant to enhance your abilities in the Jiu-Jitsu game. Its concept is simple; instead of facing off against an opponent that has no skills on the ground, you are facing off against an experienced opponent. This section allows for perfection of the basics as well as a myriad of combinations and counters against experienced grapplers.

Vale Tudo/NHB
In essence this is the combination of the first two sections. This is where you “put it all together”. This section allows you to use your defensive game and combine it with the sport style.
