A bit more boxing… working some material on our last class of 2011. Thanks to newcomer Justin for coming in and shaking things up a bit! And thanks to Fady for helping out with the filming. Have a look…

As a reminder, if you don’t have 14 oz. boxing sparring gloves and a full face-cage headgear, check with us on placing an order. We want to make sure everyone has their own gear for Friday nights.

Bogdan Ilisie snagged some silver at the NAGA tournament this weekend in Newark, NJ in the Masters No-Gi Expert Cruiser Weight division. After coming up short in his first match by 2 points, he rallied with a beautiful triangle in the next.  Congrats!

We got a big (small) surprise this week when assistant instructor Rich “Hollywood” Casazza showed up with a new student. We were very happy to meet his new son, Richard, for the first time!

Just a typical Friday night sparring session! In the MMA class, we are still in a boxing-only focus lately, as we have been for the last 2 months.  Lots of great progress by everyone. Have a look…

Carlos Machado’s Dallas location was the victim of fire and flood damage last week.  So, the BJJ community came together to with a fund raiser seminar to help with the reconstruction.

As if it wasn’t enough of a memorable occasion having all 5 of the Machado brothers teach an amazing camp this past weekend at Master Carlos Machado’s academy in Dallas, TX, Marcio was also surprised by the brothers when they presented him with his 3rd degree black belt!

Prof. Marcio was humbled by this promotion, but to his students, his teachers, & his friends Marcio’s dedication to spreading the art of jiu-jitsu is evident and this is well deserved!

Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy the fights and say bye to Prof. Marcio before his trip to Dallas!
