    Martial Art Promotions – Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

    “Promotions” The age-old question arises every so often…what does it take to be promoted? Receiving a stripe or the highly-anticipated belt promotion is an exciting celebration for everyone. Instructors and students may have varying thoughts and expectations about when someone is ready to be promoted. Below are my thoughts about this question.

    Hélio Gracie – Jiu-jitsu Inspiration

    Hélio Gracie was to prove the effectiveness of his new system. After openly challenging all of the reputable martial artists in Brazil, he fought 18 times. These matches included one-time world heavyweight wrestling champion, Wladek Zbyszko, and the #2 world ranked Judoka at the time, Kato. Hélio Gracie choked Kato unconscious in six minutes. This victory qualified him to enter into a challenge with the world champion, Masahiko Kimura, who is known as Japan’s best ever Jiu-Jitsu fighter, and who outweighed Hélio Gracie by almost 80 pounds. Although Kimura won the match, he was inspired by Hélio’s techniques and claimed that they did not exist in ....

    Muay Thai History

    Muay Thai History: What you may not know. Muay Thai, also known as Thai Boxing or Kickboxing, can be traced to mid-16th century Thailand. Legend has it that a famous fighter named Nai Khanomtom was captured in 1767 during the battles between the Burmese of the Konbaung Dynasty and Siam. Since Nai Khanomtom was well-known for his expertise in hand-to-hand combat, the Burmese gave him an opportunity to fight for his freedom. He won the match, was freed by his captors, and then allowed to return to Siam. Nai Khanomtom was recognized as a hero. His unique fighting style, which was originally known as Siamese-Style boxing, is known today as Muay Thai. This fighting style was soon to be ....

    Muay Thai is a sport

    The ensuing popularity and international interest in Muay Thai led to changing of rules, and became more in line with other popular governed sports like boxing. In the 1920’s, this fighting style was further modernized when rings were introduced, replacing open courtyards where the competitions were first held. The old-style horsehide, hemp rope, and leather bindings were phased out, and gloves similar to boxing gloves took their place. Finally, after WWII ended, the first official and formal rules were introduced into the sport of Muay Thai. These rule changes included such things as a specified number of rounds, time limits, and the use of a clock. Major stadiums were constructed ....

Eric does a a great job at teaching jiu jitsu awesome, friendly, respectful and most of all honest. One thing I love about this facility is how clean it is and organized. The culture at this gym isn’t cult like either it’s friendly but it’s tough. The Muay Thai is great as well people can spar exactly how you want it nice and steady but if you want to go harder than you can. Trent is excellent coach too, he analyses you while your doing a drill and see what your wrong try to help you make better adjustments and the work outs are crucial for Muay Thai but they do help you get better at conditioning for sure. If you’re looking around for a gym please don’t leave this one out from your list come in and try it out.

I started cross training with the gym about 2.5 years ago due to my work having a jiujitsu program and had a partnership with Eric. Coach Eric and the team were very welcoming. The mats were clean, the environment was great and all of the students/coaches were great too. Eventually I parted ways with my previous team and started training with Eric full time, it was a great decision. There is a nice mixture of jiujitsu (hobby & competitive) Muay Thai and MMA students on the mats. Coach Eric is very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. If you are looking for a place to train, definitely come check us out! For the parents looking to get their kids involved, we have a great kids programs so stop by and and check out what jiujitsu is about.
