MORE MAT SPACE!

As you may know by now, all the CrossFit equipment has been moved to the new space. Sorry, no more oggling of the hot CrossFit ladies. Zvi removed half of the pull up bars and put in a couple extra rows of mats to the Jiu-Jitsu section. Thanks Zvi! I'll try and take a better picture and post it next time but this should give you an idea:

April 3, 2010, will be One World Self Defense & Fitness' first "Monthly Social." We will be hanging out at Mission Pizza at 7pm. This is a chance for all of us to hang out and socialize at a place other than the gym, and it also gives us a chance to meet some of the other people at One World who aren't in the Jiu-Jitsu program. You can bring your family and friends. Everyone will pay for their own pizza and beverages. We will always try and pick places with an inexpensive menu so people aren't discouraged to show up. Hope to see you all there!

Congratulations Kyle and Dupree!

First place for our One World athletes that competed in a no gi tournament at AKA Sunnyvale this past Saturday!

One World Jiu-Jitsu T-Shirts and Gis have arrived, get yours while supplies last!

Bay Area Super Seminar for Haiti Relief Feb 21 at Heroes!

 Click Here for a cool video from the event!

From HeroesMartialArts.com

On January 12, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the nation of Haiti.  An estimated three million people were affected by the week, and as of now over 200,000 people have been identified as dead with another 300,000 injured who have been treated.  In addition to the human catastrophe, the infrastructure of the country of Haiti itself has been badly damaged.  International Rescue and Relief has been swift, but there is still much to be done.

On February 21st, the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community of the Greater Bay Area and beyond will gather together for a “Mega Seminar” to raise money for Haiti Relief.  It is a day where no matter what flag we fly, the Jiu Jitsu family will rally together for an important cause.

From 11AM – 4PM we will have a scheduled formal seminar, with each visiting instructor taking turns in 20 minute blocks to show a sampling of the technique they spent years honing.  That will mean those attending the seminar will get technique from at least 15 different black belts in one day!  In addition, there will be time for open mat before and after the formalized seminar.  This is not only a tremendous cause, but an absolutely tremendous opportunity!

100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross for Haiti Earthquake relief.

Some of the Black Belts who are scheduled to attend:

Alan “Gumby” Marques (Heroes Martial Arts)
Sergio Silva (Team Silva)
Garth Taylor (Kaijin MMA)
Mike Vann (Claudio Franca BJJ)
Stan Kendricks (Triune BJJ)
Odilion “OJ” Domingues (Triune BJJ)
Sandro “Batata” Santiago (Sandro Batata BJJ)
Julio Echeverria (Sandro Batata BJJ)
Kurt Osiander (Ralph Gracie BJJ)
Justin “The Machine” Holder (Ralph Gracie BJJ)
Dave Clahan (Ralph Gracie BJJ)
Chris Smith (Tiger Martial Arts)
Mike Prudencio (One World BJJ)
Mikyo Riggs (Marin MMA)
Ricardo Barros (Ricardo Barros BJJ)
Daren Uyenoyama (FTCC Combat Club)
Marcos “Yesamo” Torregrossa (Cassio Werneck)

In addition, the following companies have already agreed to donate goods and services to the cause:

Swain Mats, a Division of Dollamur
Grappler’s Quest
OntheMat.com

The cost to attend the seminar will begin at a low $25, but donations and larger amounts are certainly welcome and encouraged.

100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross for Haiti earthquake relief.

The seminar will be held in downtown San Jose at Heroes Martial Arts Academy.  Thanks in part to Swain we expect to have nearly 4000 square feet of open mat space in order to accommodate what will surely be the largest seminar in NorCal history.

Heroes Martial Arts
460 South Market Street
San Jose CA 95113

Any questions or for those willing to donate/participate/volunteer, feel free to contact seminar organizers Gumby (gumby@onthemat.com) or Sergio Silva (sergiobjj@hotmail.com).  Black belts wanting to instruct, please contact Gumby to reserve a time slot for yourself.

Much more to come, and thanks! - Gumby
