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.
