Mine No GI Session!!!

June 27, 2010

I went to train at Atlanta last friday, and the trip was long enough to start to think about life. Then I started to think why sometimes everything is to hard and when sometimes take to long to get done, but in jiu -jitsu you can’t rush, becouse you have to study jiu-jitsu as a science to try to develop the best way to be a better fighter, also  in this jouney you learn more about your self, and start to see it not just about  to being a great fighter, also you try to be a better person for your self and who lives around you. It’s awesome how jiu-jitsu can change lives in the best way. I want to say thank you to Cobrinha for give to me some of his knowledge about jiu-jitsu, everytime I went to train with him I learn alot.  Thi’s mine lesson from No Gi session!!!

The World BJJ by Billy Fletcher!!!

June 8, 2010
I have been to and competed in the Pan Ams many times but this year was my first trip to see the BJJ World Championships.  It was a great experience for many reasons.  First, it was a great pleasure to have the opportunity to coach Anna and Neal.  They both fought hard and should be commended for their effort and the courage it takes to compete on the biggest BJJ stage in the world.  I am proud of both of them.  It is  also ,great to see the continual growth and evolution of BJJ.  The number of competitors continues to rise and so does the level of jiujitsu.  There were many exciting matches over the weekend.  It was awesome to see the Alliance team come out on top once again. There are many great competitors from Alliance including but not limited to Cobrinha, Bruno Malfacine, Marcelo, Sergio, Lucas, Michael Langhi, Tarsis, and Bernardo Faria.  Bruno won his third world title, Marcelo his fourth, Michael Langhi his second, and Bernardo Faria his first. Tarsis has been at the top of his weight class for some time but the world title had eluded him until now.  It was nice to see him finally win the Worlds.  It was also good to see Gabrie land see him win his second world title at brown belt.  Rafael and I both hope that next year we will be able to take a bigger team to compete in the big tournaments.  We are putting together some new ideas for those who are serious about competing at the highest level and approaching the training professionally. We will keep you up to date and hope that you will take advantage of what we are offering.
 
Thanks,
Billy
