Rodrigo'Comprido' Medeiros Seminar


We would like to thank Prof. Rodrigo 'Comprido' Medeiros for the awesome seminar this past weekend.

We had about 20 in attendance, he made everyone feel as though they were receiving a private.

He demonstrated some of his favorite techniques and showed some incredible details.

We hope to have him out again in the near future.

SRJJA Annual Tournament 2007

Peloton made the trip out to Toledo-Ohio to visit all the association members and compete in the annual SRJJA this past weekend.
Saulo and Xande made everyone feel welcome and gave us the updates on the University of Jiu Jitsu in Cali.
The turnout was awesome, 16+ association schools, and tons of talented JJ players.
Amongst the attendees were current SH Mundial Champ-Rafael Lovato Jr., Regis Lebre, Shaun Bansfield, and Chris Blanke hosting the event.
Next year the event will move to a new and larger venue.
Results:

Don DeManno- 1st place 145lb/ 0-1yr.

Mike Montes- 4th place 155-165div/ 0-1yr.

Mark Stutzman-3rd place (Blue belt)- 200-210 lbs.

Collin Schrader- 2nd place (Blue belt) 175-185 lbs.

BadDog Fights:
Casey Lamb- 205-265 div.
Fought Tau Falualo from Hawaii, Casey won the fight in outstanding fashion, in 51 sec. of the first round.
Tau was taken down with a single leg takedown, had his guard passed to knee on belly, took a ton of damage from that position. Got mounted and received devastating strikes to the face at which point the ref. stopped the fight.
We will post the fight soon.

Huge congrats to everyone that participated in this weekends events!!, you all made us extremely proud!!
Thanks to Saulo, Xande, and Chris for hosting and making us feel welcome and part of the SRJJA family.
