The Latest News at Crispim BJJ in Pleasanton

March 7, 2010 By 1 Comment

First, Alexander Crispim would like to thank everyone at the academy for the incredible training.  It is truly amazing how much improvement everyone is having AND the level of energy and committment at the academy is phenomenal. 

As many of you know, we are one of the ONLY BJJ academies in the area (if not the only one) who offers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes 7 days per week.   Crispim feels it very important to teach these classes on Sundays because many of our students and prospective students have busy lives and unique work schedules.  Crispim wants to ensure that everyone gets in the amount of training they would like each and every week.   Today’s class was full with both white belts and upper belts.  It is so exciting to see the programs at Crispim BJJ grow like this and we are very fortunate to work with such a great team.  For those of you who did not know that you can train on Sundays… come check out the classes.  Every Sunday 9-10am Fundamentals Class and 10-11am Advanced Class. 

Also, Crispim BJJ is excited to have our first Free Law Enforcement Seminar for any local Bay Area officers on March 20th from 1-3pm.  If you know of any law enforcement men or women who may benefit from this, please have them contact Crispim at 925-468-0330  or email us at info@CrispimBJJ.com for more details.  We have flyers at the academy.  Our current law enforcement students are also invited and encouraged to attend.

There are still some spaces left for the Rodrigo Gracie Seminar on Sunday, March 14th.  Please call or email us to reserve your space.  Cost is $65 for students and $75 for non-students.  You don’t want to miss this seminar from this world recognized Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner and MMA champion.

In an effort to keep interesting and constantly changing information on our website, we are currently working on several articles and are asking for comments from our students.  If you can provide info on any of the following topics, please email them to info@CrispimBJJ.com:

*  If you have a child with ADHD/ADD and have seen an improvement or any change since he/she has been training in BJJ, we would love to hear your stories.

*  If you have been successful in losing weight while training in BJJ, please forward us your story.

*  Why did you choose to train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu over other martial arts?

That should do it for now!   Please contact us with any questions or comments.   Have a great week of training.
