We traded some video with our new friends in South Korea at Sansiro Jiu-Jitsu Club. Instructor Jun-Woo Jang and his students are working some grappling & kickboxing techniques and light sparring. Apparently it gets really cold in Korea! Hence, the hoodies and space heaters. These guys are dedicated!

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.

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!
