If you are looking for
an introduction to mixed martial arts (MMA), boxing, kickboxing, muay
thai,
brazilian jiu
jitsu (BJJ), no gi submission grappling, Jeet Kune Do (JKD), Greco
wrestling or basic conditioning give me a call at 541-461-6799. I have listed some instructional dvds, books and links to online resources that I feel might enhance your personal training. Watch the first UFC and you will get an idea of how mixed martial arts has evolved as a sport. There are also kettlebell dvds from Steve Cotter, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Instructionals from Jean Jacques Machado, Dave Camarillo, Eddie Bravo Mastering the Rubber Guard, MMA books and dvds from BJ Penn, Randy Couture, Marcelo Garcia and others. The links above are to some of my personal favorites. And for after training take a look at the products in the conditioning section. For example, the special ice packs, liniments and creams may help speed your recovery between training sessions. I use Carlson's Finest Fish Oil and All One vitamin and mineral powder for active seniors each morning after yoga.

Arts training takes the boredom out of exercise making it a fun way to get in shape and stay healthy. Take care of yourself, train smart, and try to avoid injury. It's amazing training in the greenhouse this time of year, no other place like it. Visit us in North Eugene Santa Clara soon.* *Unless classes are full, you hate spiders, are allergic to cats, are afraid of germs, can't risk missing an episode of Dr. Phil, or just don't feel like it...
Q:
What Is Your View On The Amount Of Politics In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
Royler Gracie: I think it’s bad that
it’s already gone the way it has. I don’t really
like it. We have instructors here in Australia that tell their students
where they can and can’t go, hell, they threaten to ban them
from the club if they go to certain places to train, or go to certain
seminars, if it’s not being held at their gym. It’s
really sad, and it totally goes against what these head
instructors/managers have been told and trained to do. I always tell my
students to feel free to try all different clubs and trainers. Everyone
should try different gym’s until they find the one that suits
them best. You won’t ever reach your full potential under an
instructor who wants to keep you there & take your money. If my
student does not enjoy himself, he should find someone else to train
him, which more suits his own needs. There is nothing wrong with this.
