Well, it looks as though we are right on schedule for moving in on Oct. 15th… there is even a possibility of getting in there a couple of days early. We will see. Barring any crazy out of the blue craziness, we should be occupying the new studio on Oct. 15th!!

New Home:

Our new home… A nice rugged warehouse space to call our own. There is 1200 square feet downstairs and 600 square feet upstairs. 1st floor will be all training… 2nd floor will be all lounge, library, kids play area and more!

Thanks to everyone for all of your patience through this transition. Soon your loyalty and dedication will be paid back in full. The studio space will probably remain rough for the first couple of weeks but we will be cleaning her and painting her up as we go along. Volunteers for moving, painting, etc. are definitely appreciated.

Seminar Announcement:

We are also planning on having a grand opening seminar with my professor, 8th degree coral belt (red and black belt) Joe Moreira on Saturday November 21st. No details have been worked out yet other than the date. Joe is definitely looking forward to teaching in the new space.

T-Shirts:

The new Team Moreira/Simian Martial Arts shirt shown in a previous post, should be ready within the next week. If you have already pre-ordered then you are all set, if not, you better get your order in now to reserve a shirt!

Tournament:

The California Classic down at United BJJ in Riverside, CA is happening on Sunday November 15th. I am not sure yet if we are going to be able to make this one or not, but it would be the next possible tournament for us to hit as a school. So if you are thinking about competing any time in the near future, don’t sign up yet, but check this out:

Stay tuned for more details on everything… coming soon!!

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) for Lil Monkeys (5-8 years old) introduces the student to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu using the PAW method (Play As a Way). Here we use games to teach BJJ attributes and concepts in a fun and exciting manner that will only help with information retention.

BJJ for Youth (9-14 years old) teaches the students the same PAW games in the Lil Monkeys class but starts to cross over into the world of technique instruction so the student is more prepared in self defense scenarios. This class is designed to be fun and creative while also keeping each student learning and retaining the information.

BJJ for adults (15 years and older), under the supervision of Joe Moreira Jiu Jitsu de Brazil, uses drilling of the basics, technique instruction, progressive resistance and live rolling to help the student better themselves in the realm of self defense, BJJ sport competition, MMA competition or just for a good workout. BJJ is known for using technique and leverage where a smaller, weaker person can overcome a bigger, stronger opponent. A great class for both men and women.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) for adults uses the arts of Brazilia Jiu Jitsu (without the gi), Boxing, Muay Thai, Russian Sambo, Wrestling and more to give the student the most modern form of martial arts. Here we develop each student to have their own style to work best with their body type and capabilities rather than trying to fit them into the same old rigid mold. This is a great class for the most modern approach to self defense, for an amazing workout and is also great if you plan on competing in the world of MMA or no-gi BJJ.

MMA Circuit Training for adults uses all of the hardcore cardio and plyometric routines that are used for the MMA workouts just without the sparring or fighting. If you are looking for an intense workout where you will be pushed each and every time then this is the class for you. An amazing supplement to the BJJ and MMA classes or for those serious about competing. Also a great class for anyone who wants to have the stamina, strength and cardio of a fighter, without having to fight anyone.
