Allow Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the 2016 Olympics

2012-08-07T14:33:00.003-04:00

This is an interesting one. So Judo and TKD, and wrestling are allready there. Why not in 2016 when the olympics are in Brazil introduce Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ! I think it would be great, with all of the interest world wide in addition to the money generated by what we have in MMA. I think the Olympic version of BJJ is just what the sport needs to get it to the next level.

BJJ Over 40

Posted on March 29, 2011

As if the trauma of not be being fit, on medication for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and getting tossed like a pretzel in class with 2-3 day recovery needed… Now to put the icing on the cake – I am lumped into the senior category! I am not ready for AARP… ( even though my joints are killing me! )
Getting better on the recovery.. I took a week or so off, trained Sunday and by Monday afternoon kinks were coming out. Worked out a little last night at home, rode the stationary bike for 20 minutes, did some curls, and situps. Tonight will hit the beginner gi class for round two. This is shaping up to be a good week.
from the IBJJF website !
INTERNATIONAL MASTERS & SENIORS CHAMPIONSHIP
One of the highlights of this event is being able to watch famous instructors and great athletes of past generations in action on the mats. Awesome match ups take place every year, making students and fans cheer as their teachers square off in historical battles against other famous names of the Jiu-Jitsu world.
Besides these exciting fights in the black belt division, the International Masters & Seniors Championship also attracts practitioners who are over 30 years of age in every belt division. Despite the intense competition on the mats, the atmosphere surrounding the event is light and cheerful. Athletes from all over the world come to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to take part in this great event that has become one of the most popular tournaments held by the IBJJF and CBJJ.
Divisions
Masters (30-35)
Fight time: Blue belts – 5 minutes
Purple/brown/black belts – 6 minutes
Seniors 1 (36-40)
Fight time: all belts – 5 minutes
Seniors 2 (41-45)

40 is the new 50!

Posted on March 7, 2011

Wow, am I sore. Spent most of Sunday jacked up, lubed up with some muscle relaxer and watching the Roy Dean Blue Belt DVD, Feel better today. Wish I would have done this jiu jitsu thing in my teens and twenties, oh that’s right – It was not around !
Living up to 40 was “fast and the furious” did not have a worry about anything – excess everything with minimal exercise. 40 to 50 seems to be my maintenance period, this BJJ is just compounding the pain of getting older. Flexibility! (almost none), reflexes – (almost none), recover time – 2-3 days ! I used to work out when I was younger, but man is it taking longer to recover !
The journey from 40 on seems to be kicking my butt so far.. Between all of this medicine for cholesterol and blood pressure plus the exercise to try and get into shape!
Like Alonzo from the movie Training Day said ‘You wanna go home, or goto jail?’ .. There is a funny comic strip I have at my desk, Doctor talking to his patient says – ‘You want to exercise an hour a day? Or be dead 24 hrs a day?’

Attitude and the law of attraction

2011-06-07T16:33:00.000-04:00

The Law of Attraction says that whatever we focus our attention and energy on, we will attract more of the same whether wanted or unwanted.

Diet and exercise

It all comes down to balance of lifestyle, work, and diet. I love this program the biggest loser and really think this Jamie's food revolution is a great show too. I have been reading this dr. Mercola too @ http://www.mercola.com/ .
So what's important is staying alive, though proper nutrition ( veggies! and no processed food..) mixed with lots of exercise. How many times has your Mom or some video at school told you that ! As a kid some of these might not be choices but as we get older habits turn in character. So lots of bad habits lead to bad character? Lets see,
I like to eat fast food, because its fast and saves time.
I like to work late, long hours and I am to tired to do anything at home or with family.
I like to watch TV and sit on the couch.
I like to eat and watch TV and sit on the couch.
I like to play video games and sit on the computer.
I hate to run around .
YEP! Lots of bad habits lead to bad character and bad health!
change your brain ( like charlie sheen said!) - It all comes down to balance of lifestyle, work, and diet. Get busy, eat right and know what you are eating.

Have you ever seen a teacher with the credentials of winning the pan title ? This is a big resume builder for schools or book writers, or just a major feat in itself. Its like the BJJ Olympics that happens several times a year.

pan - am

Held annually in the United States since 1995, the Pan Championship represented the first step towards the internationalization of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a sport. Back then, in the first event, a group of almost 250 athletes took part in the pioneering and historical enterprise. A lot has changed since then. The tournament has grown tremendously and has achieved recognition as the biggest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition in North America and as one of the most important events in the world.

Currently the Pan attract athletes from all corners of the planet and it grows a bit more every year. In the latest edition of the tournament, held in the city of Carson, California, 1700 competitors signed up. This incredible number set a new record for the event.

The Pan Championship is held by the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation, a governing body directly connected to the Brazilian Condeferation (CBJJ). In order to fulfill its role in the expansion of BJJ, the Pan have been held in many different regions of the USA, boosting the practice of the sport in important centers such as Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando and even Honolulu, in Hawaii.

Divisions

> Juvenile 16 and 17 years
> Adult
> Máster 30 to 35 years
> Senior 1 36 to 40 years
> Sênior 2 41 to 45 years
> Sênior 3 46 to 50 years

World Championship
The World Championship is the most important event in the IBJJF annual calendar. It attracts the most skilled and well trained athletes on the planet. The tournament was held for the first time in 1996 at the Tijuca Tênis Clube gymnasium, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Since then a lot has changed as the event followed the development of the sport around the world. Every year the number of fans and athletes increases a bit more. In 2005, 1650 competitors were in attendance and displayed their skills in front of a total crowd of 12 thousand people. Traditionally during the last two days of competition, when the black belt superstars are on the mats, the gymnasium reaches its maximum capacity and gets packed with emotion.

During the 2005 Mundial, 250 foreign athletes traveled to Brazil to take part in the tournament. This amazing number can be compared to other prestigious international events held in Rio, such as the FIFA Club World Championship or the Brazilian leg of the Surfing World Championship.

In the year of 2007 the “ World Jiu-Jitsu Championship” was relocated to outside of Brazil , being held for the first time in the USA ground. The change proved to be a big success , the 1800 athletes attendance broke all the records of participants in a BJJ tournament.

INTERNATIONAL MASTERS & SENIORS CHAMPIONSHIP

One of the highlights of this event is being able to watch famous instructors and great athletes of past generations in action on the mats. Awesome match ups take place every year, making students and fans cheer as their teachers square off in historical battles against other famous names of the Jiu-Jitsu world.

Besides these exciting fights in the black belt division, the International Masters & Seniors Championship also attracts practitioners who are over 30 years of age in every belt division. Despite the intense competition on the mats, the atmosphere surrounding the event is light and cheerful. Athletes from all over the world come to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to take part in this great event that has become one of the most popular tournaments held by the IBJJF and CBJJ.
