Leo Vieira is an accomplished competitor with World BJJ and ADCC titles along with many other international titles. The once brilliant and impulsive competitor, that would forgo points for action even to the detriment of his personal results, matured into a great strategist and that change led to even more titles. For a few years now Leo has doubled up as the leader of Checkmat team. A team that a few years ago was challenging for the top and then suffered a setback. Now the resurgent Checkmat with its leader at the helm and up close is ready to make its move and be a top force. Here is what Leo has to say about the Worlds 2013

Word from Mike Fowler

2013-05-15T11:17:00.000-07:00

From Mike Fowler

When Tracey and I came to Hawaii in 2010, our plan was to open a gym and start a life here. Things from the beginning were great. We took on the non profit kids club at first at a local recreation center. The only times available at the center were the kids class times, so we had to look elsewhere for the adults. We live on the countryside so there isn't many commercial buildings. Everything is residential. A local house with a gym was available to hold classes at and the non profit was extended to cover adults as well and a service was brought to a community that it had been without for so long. The good fortune was short, and because of the landlords drug addiction, we lost the gym. Or it was lost for us. Since we started working the non profit we have had a great response from the community, but the local recreation center where we taught the kids classes would only allow one class per week for the adults.

We recently lost our no-profit status, to no fault of our own,. Since 2011 we have struggled to find a gym to serve the area where we live, and it is finally coming true. I wasn't sure about even writing this letter, but I need your help! To keep up with the cost of starting a new non profit, insurance, rent, mats. Whether a donation to the club by monetary means or equipment new/used. Anything to help us reinstate the kids class get us up on our own feet. We only have one month to prepare and the current tenants won't move out until the day before we move in, so if any questions, message me here or email Northshorebjj@gmail.com

Please share!

Thanks for your time

Kid Peligro's New Iphone App: Side Control and Submissions

2013-05-06T04:30:00.000-07:00

Following the great success of his previous Iphone apps, Kid Peligro releases his newest Iphone App instructional: Side Control and Submissions. Side control is one of the most important positions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and street self-defense. After you've passed the opponent's guard and has reached this very desirable position the last thing you want is to lose it. Kid Peligro goes in great details of explaining how to control the opponent and defuse any of his attempts to escape. He then goes on to show his favorite submission attacks.

This app going way beyond just the killer techniques, as Peligro goes on to explain what you should be thinking and how to proceed to not only control your opponent but also to submit him.

Additionally, Kid explains several details and nuances that will completely change your perspective on the position and will turn you from a lightweight into a very strong Jiu-Jitsu fighter. Learn how to take advantage of opportunities and how to avoid the pitfalls of the side-control position. Learn the mindset that you need to become a dangerous submission artist and how to apply pressure and control so your opponent wish he wasn't fighting you.

Here is what people are saying about Kid's apps and ebooks:

You have a great gift for explaining things! ... Anyway, I just purchased your eBook on the closed guard. Having experienced some success with the guard recently (because of your iPad app), I'm eager to further develop my guard. I'm extremely limited in how far I can progress in BJJ in general because of a severe injury I sustained last year, but the guard is one area in particular where I potentially could improve a lot without risking further damage to my neck. I'm very excited! JG
