Training in Jiu Jitsu is actually very reasonable. The type of training we provide removes the need of the purchase of expensive sparring equipment.

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!
Sharon Bonewics, Team Lloyd Irvin and Sheri Hockman, 3rd Generation Jiu-Jitsu Team will be hosting a 3-day women’s training camp. Featuring some top instructors from several disciplines including BJJ, Judo, wrestling and more. The event will take place at BJJ United in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. For more information please visit, www.bjjwomenslifestyle.com
Please join us as we welcome Fadi Khouri back to the Pennsylvania area. Fadi is returning on the heels of his outstanding victory at the US Open as well as earning his black black recently. Fadi will be running a guard passing, guard attacks and judo seminar at the RGDA Academy on Saturday, November 20, 2010. The seminar will run from 10:30am to 12:30pm.
All 3rd Generation Jiu-Jitsu Team members are welcome and encouraged to come and train with world class black belt.
For more information, please contact Rosendo Diaz at 267.476.1858 or heelhook21@aol.com
The omoplata is perhaps one of the most adaptable submissions in the art of Jiu-Jitsu. It doesn’t take a great deal of flexibility to apply and is a great attack for all body types. In the following video technique demonstration you will see a basic set up for the omoplata submission as well as a variation commonly used when your opponent attempts to fight the downwards pressure. Enjoy!
