Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Purple Belt

by Anthony on June 2, 2011

I guess this would be a great reason to start posting on my blog again. On Saturday, May 28th, I was promoted to purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

BJJ: Purple Belt

This is a big accomplishment for me. I have been training BJJ for over four and a half years now. I love BJJ and all the great things that it has brought into my life. My older brother has also started training BJJ and recently promoted to blue belt.

Check out the video.

Keep training!

BJJ: Blue Belt to Purple Belt

by Anthony on December 29, 2009

About a week ago, my friend and training partner, TJ, was promoted to Purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  The video below is a demonstration of his skills and hard work.  It is not a belt test.  He had already displayed his skills in competitions and training.  TJ and I started training around the same time.  He is truly dedicated to the sport of Jiu Jitsu and is a great instructor.  I wish I could have been there for his live demonstration.  Outstanding Job, TJ! I am proud of you!

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Led Me To…

October 19, 2009

I was thinking about my training today and I could not remember what types of exercises or things I use to do to stay in shape before I started training in BJJ. November 1st will be three years that I have been training BJJ at Roy Dean Academy, and since I have been training I have been exposed to a whole lot of different things, good things!

BJJ: Competing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

October 17, 2009

This weekend several of my teammates are competing at the BJJ US Open XIV in Santa Cruz, California. I am rooting for them from far away, but I know they have prepared well for this event. I wish I could be there with them competing. I have a feeling one of my teammates is going to be getting his purple belt here real soon.

BJJ: Saulo Ribeiro and Roy Dean

September 27, 2009

I have been away from training at Roy Dean Academy for almost six months now. Although, I have been blessed to be in a place where there is a Jiu Jitsu class, it is nothing like training at RDA. I have only been at my current location for just over two months. That means I was not able to do any BJJ training for four months straight. Of course my skills have been effected from the lack of training, but I will not give up on the journey.

Visiting Other Academies: Drop-In Fees

February 18, 2009

One thing that’s cool about BJJ is that whenever you travel anywhere, for the most part, there will be a BJJ academy to train at. It was my hope to be able to train while in California. California has a lot of academies throughout the whole state. So, I knew I would have no problem finding an academy to train at.

Out of Town – Training At Other BJJ Academies

December 28, 2008

I have heard both good and bad things about people’s experiences who were out of town and wanted to train BJJ. The bad usually goes something like, “yeah, I was the one everyone wanted to get a piece of and I did not like they way their training was conducted”

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu | Brothers

December 16, 2008

It was a year ago in October, I was sitting down at my computer and for some reason thoughts of my half brothers came to my mind. I knew I had half brothers since I was 11. I had never met them in person and after 20 years I decided to try and find them.

My Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Journey

December 11, 2008

As I continue my journey in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I notice that I have not done a good job in updating my blog. I have found many good BJJ blogs by people who post each training class and have written them in detail. I am not sure I will ever get to that point, but I think it helps in remembering what was taught in class.

I see my blog more about the journey, the ups-and downs of training and what I go through in all the years it will take to become a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt.

Teaching BJJ As A Blue Belt

November 21, 2008

I have been teaching BJJ basics class for almost a year now. I love to teach the class. The class consists of white belts, and a few blue belts will attend occasionally. I cover the basic body positions, transitions, and submissions. I mostly stick with body positions and transitions. Since each transition there are submissions, I take the class through a series of transitions first then lead to a submission.
