Successful seminars keep rolling out at GriffonRawl. The latest was the Jorge Pereira BJJ seminar on Saturday, June 6. It's rare to have someone the level of Jorge Pereira deliver a seminar, and we have Tony Reel to thank for it. Tony trained under Master Pereira while on vacation in Miami. Inspired by the training he spoke to Jason Dent about bringing him to GR. It was a 30 second decision.
The seminar had the good (bad?) luck of falling on one of the best days this summer. You might expect a poor turnout with so few fine beach days available here, but in spite of the amazing weather 14 students showed for two hours of gi training and 11 for the following two hours of no gi.
The first session started at 11:30. The size of the group allowed for plenty of personal attention and close observation of the techniques covered. Because the group included 3 black belts, 3 brown and 2 purple, much of the training was on advanced technique.
The 2 pm session, for no gi, concentrated on the application of BJJ to
mixed martial arts fighting. A few gi only students left, to be replaced by members of the GR fight team. Each session ended with a round of applause for Master Pereira.
GR wants to thank Tony Reel for suggesting the seminar to Jason, and
Reel's Auto Sales for sponsoring the event. The turnout was great, and the reaction of the students so positive it’s certain we will have Master Pereira up again soon.
The seminar was also sponsored by
Intimidation Clothing and
