Do you know someone who has an interest in BJJ? Why not bring them in and show them what you’ve gained here at RGA.   Later this month we will be holding our first “BUDDY DAY” at the academy. Experienced or not, bring in your friend to attend class formatted as an introduction to BJJ.  As you and your pal train, they will learn and share the benefits of training you have experienced here at RGA.

Hey Everyone – we’ve made some changes to the schedule: our NO GI class has been moved to Friday, Saturday’s NO GI has been changed to MIXED GI (still at 11am) and we have added a Blue Belt class to Thursday night.  We have also made some changes to the KIDS classes.  These changes go into effect as of September 7.  Check it out on the website or pick up a schedule at the front desk.

Today we had a visit from Zoltan Bathory from Five Finger Death Punch at our school, the group is on tour and tonight they play at the PNC arts center and he decided to come by for a training session. Here are some pictures.

This is a very calm Sunday for our team at Renzo Gracie Holmdel.

Not really.

Our boss is in Abu Dhabi, with his big friend HH Sheik Tahnoon. Judging by the picture he has tweeted, he’s just enjoying the pool during the hot Summer there, but this is not entirely true. After sunset, he will head to His Highness palace to train and to workout, which goes sometimes till 2AM.

Sergio Ignacio is definitely busy, since he will come along with all his family from Brazil tonight. So I bet he’s now packing.

Rolles is driving back from Ottawa, where he taught a seminar on our friend Pat Cooligan’s awesome academy yesterday.

Steve is probably working out somewhere.

And I went to our gym at 11h30 to do the lonely knee therapy (see how lonely was our conditioning class room in the above’s picture).

Well, therapy is lonely no matter how many people you have around, but I was expecting to not meet anyone at the academy. However, Joe was there teaching one private after other.

Ah, by the way, Matt Krieger is in Porto Rico, surfing.

Pretty ordinary Sunday for our RGHolmdel staff of instructors.

Joe is throwing a Summer party today. Many of our Holmdel beasts are here relaxing by the pool.

Well deserved rest. After all, this morning they had a tough conditioning class, and some people even did the beginners class followed by the advance no-gi class. Our team is reaching the right pace

Just like Luca wrote yesterday, this is a hot summer here in Holmdel and we’re making it even hotter. I did 40 minutes run this morning and later I’ll be teaching and training at the No Gi class.

Yesterday  Haz and I did a great workout with our conditioning coach Matt Kreiger at PNC arts center. We ran some stairs combined with some exercises. And later I rolled with some of the guys (Norm, big Tony and Sergio) in class. Here is some pictures of yesterdays workout. Let’s keep it burning!!!

Summer is firing up here in Holmdel, but training doesn’t stop at all at Renzo Gracie Academy.

This noon class we had 15 people learning and sweating hard on Joe’s class, and right now a bunch o kids is rolling now as we speak, of course coached by Steve, Joe and our assistant Paul.

Our big Rolles is back training hard, as you can see by following him on his tweet account.

I just run a therapy session with Matt Krieger in our conditioning room. I can’t tell you it’s a great feeling, however it’s been only 20 days from my knee surgery and that is the only way to go.

And you, what are you doing, just relaxing on your fresh couch waiting for the heat to pass? Come train, we are waiting for you.
