I am very excited to be a part of the Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Network and the US Blackbelt Academy (www.teamusba.com) in Laguna Niguel, CA. The USBA is proud to be hosting a Royler Gracie Seminar next month at their school. I along with all of the Mammoth Lakes Jiu-Jitsu team is invited to attend and I wouldn’t miss this for the world.
Royler is the son of Helio Gracie who founded the martial art of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu which many know today as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Royler is a world champion and is considered one of the top jiu-jitsu technicians in the world. He currently holds the rank of 7th degree red/black belt and resides in San Diego.

My name is Jason Thompson. I live in Bishop, Ca and as you may know martial arts schools are none existent. Last year I spent 5 months training jiu jitsu under Fabio Leopoldo 3rd degree under Ryan and Renzo gracie team. I also teach my daughter the gracie bullyproof program through the dvds. I was going to try and drop in for a class on march 5, 2012. I lost some more weight since last year so my gi jacket doesnt fit. Could i participate in a rash guard and some tae kwon do pants. Looking forward to rolling with a new family.
Hope you have a good day
Jason

Hi Jason. Welcome to the family! Please join us here in Mammoth Lakes as much as you can. in fact, if we can find others from Bishop interested in doing jiu-jitsu up in Mammoth a few days a week, perhaps you can do a carpool system to simplify the driving and expense involved! TKD pants are fine, and I may have an extra gi top you can borrow. What size are you? Call me at 949-690-5555 or email me directly at leacheric@npgcable.com anytime to discuss Mammoth Lakes Jiu-Jitsu in more detail. I look forward to meeting you in person! Eric
