REGULAR BJJ & JUDO SCHEDULE FOR 9 OCTOBER

We return to our regular BJJ & judo training schedule on Saturday, 9 October, after the old-fashioned butt-whipping that UF took at the hands of the Crimson Tide last week. Hopefully for the Gators, LSU is an easier opponent tonight.

TIME CHANGE FOR 2 OCTOBER ONLY

We will not be having our reguarly scheduled judo class on Saturday, 2 October, so students can watch the 8 pm start of the Florida vs. Alabama football game. Judo will resume at its regular time next week.

BJJ class is moved up to 4 pm on Saturday, 2 October to accomodate those who will be watching the football game.

Go Gators.

JASON'S BLUE BELT

JASON COMPTON= BJJ BLUE BELT

After a year and a half of dedicated training with me, it became painfully apparent that Jason Compton has satisfied all of the requirements associated with earning a blue belt in BJJ under the affiliation of Wolfpack BJJ.

On Wednesday, 15 September 2010, we slipped Jason's family into the academy for a promotion ceremony. After quickly going through the curriculum requirements for BJJ blue belt and demonstrating a basic proficiency in the application of the techniques by rolling with me for a few minutes, Jason got to strap on a new belt.

Great job, Jason. We all look forward to continuing on the journey.

GREG DIFRANZA WINS AT PAN AMS

Our instructor, Greg DiFranza, won his weight class at the Pan Ams over the weekend by defeating two opponents.

Strangely enough, he also won two medals (a gold and silver) in divisions that he did not compete in.

WOLFPACK SARASOTA'S NEW LOCATION

Our instructor, Professor Charles Dos Anjos, has moved the main academy into a larger facility. The new location is 3688 Webber St, Sarasota (across the street from the original school way back when Charles first arrived).

Classes are scheduled to begin on Wednesday, 1 September. A new class schedule will consist of daily jiu jitsu classes for adults and children, traditional karate classes, muay thai, cage fitness and more.

ORANGE PARK WOLFPACK MEETS ROYCE

Three of us attended the Royce Gracie seminar at Smiley's on Monday, August 23. It must be noted that David was the only one who actually participated (and came close to overheating in the process).

I took detailed notes on what Royce covered during the seminar, so all of us should benefit from the techniques and principles that he demonstrated for quite a while.
