February 23, 2010 By 1 Comment

Crispim BJJ Barra Brothers in Pleasanton is excited to be hosting a seminar for Rodrigo Gracie on March 14th, 2010 from 1:00-3:00pm.  The seminar will focus on both gi and no-gi.

Rodrigo Gracie is the son of Reylson Gracie and grandson of one of the founders of  Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Carlos Gracie.  Rodrigo has a long list of accomplishments including Pride 19 and 24 champion, Pride Bushido 1 and 2 Champion, Abu Dhabi Champion, K-1 Hero’s Champion and author of several Martial Arts books.  

You do not want to miss this opportunity to train with this highly experienced and decorated Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt and MMA competitor and learn some of the latest techniques in the grappling world.   

We just found out that we will also have a special guest and well respected competitor and teacher, Crosley Gracie, at the seminar.  Crosley also has a very accomplished record in both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA.  He also owns and teaches at his academy in Brentwood.

Space is limited and we will be reserving spots on a first come first serve basis.  The cost is $65 for students of any of the Barra Brothers academies and $75 for non-members.  Please contact Crispim or Michele for additional information.

Blake is 11 years old and has been training in Jiu-Jitsu for 6 years.  His record is 23-4-1.  Blake has also competed in many tournaments and at such a young age, already has a very impressive record:

2006 United Gracie Tournament 1st place

2007 Grapplers Quest 3rd place

2007 Meltdown 3rd place

2008 Gracie Open 2nd place

2009 Ralph Gracie in House Tournament 1st place 90 pound Division 2nd place open weight
