As our children move on from grade school onto middle school and beyond there becomes a greater need for the development of better fitness and focus. Training in Gracie Jiu Jitsu doesn’t just give your kids the ability and self confidence to defend themselves, it also provides them with a better sense of self worth as well as self discipline.
Training at the Rosendo Diaz Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy is exciting for the kids but it’s also easy for parents. We offer “no contracts”, only month to month agreements. So if you child is involved with sports during certain times of the year you can feel assured that you won’t be paying for time not spent training and learning at our academy. Our teen/pre-teen classes are for kids ages 11 to 14 and run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6pm to 7pm.
Training in Jiu Jitsu is actually very reasonable. The type of training we provide removes the need of the purchase of expensive sparring equipment. The only thing your child will need is a Jiu Jitsu Gi (uniform) and the enthusiasm to learn the most effective style of martial arts being taught today.

Daniel Hilal, a graduate of political science from the American University of Beirut and a professional MMA fighter, was born into a culture where BJJ was a concept fighters could only dream of. Lebanon has no federations, no academy, no black-belts, and no sign of hope, until now.
Daniel began his martial arts journey at the age of 11 with Karate. Shortly after, he was introduced to Judo, and this is where it all began for him. After achieving a well-deserved brown belt in Judo, Daniel felt he needed to raise the bar and decided to upgrade his arsenal of techniques and adapt to training without the gi to become an even more complete grappler. The fast-paced activity and explosiveness of Freestyle Wrestling was very appealing to him. He joined the Taadod Wrestling Club in Beirut, and through his determination, hard work, and supportive team of wrestlers, he excelled quickly, progressing from a local competitor to a regional talent. In 2009-2010, Daniel easily topped his rivals in Lebanon without a single loss, taking first place in the Lebanese Championship at -66kg and 5th in the Arab Championship in Doha, Qatar, at -60kg. To wrap up the year, Daniel made his first professional MMA debut in Jordan’s Desert Force Championship.
Daniel has had a passion for grappling from the start. BJJ, in specific, has long been Daniel’s preferred martial art. He did everything possible to fuel this passion, which consisted of, hosting seminars, demonstrations, training relentlessly, and even holding classes. Within Lebanon, all Daniel could do was gather bits and pieces of BJJ to feed this passion.
December 23, 2010 marked an historical day for Lebanon when Daniel was promoted to blue belt under the patronage of 3G black belt Fadi Khouri, marking this occasion as the first ever official BJJ promotion in the country. It was through Fadi’s empathy and good judgment that Daniel’s flame for BJJ was kindled and the sport took root in Lebanon. Up until recently, Daniel was a BJJ orphan. He was alone in his training, and in his goal. Thanks to Fadi Khouri, Daniel is no longer an orphan. He finally found a home, a home called Third Generation Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
The Rosendo Diaz Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy will be open for open mat training on Friday, December 24, 2010 from 10am to 12pm. All academy members and 3rd Generation Jiu-Jitsu Team affiliates are welcome to attend. Come on down and train with your team!
