Glimpses of Rancho Roberto
Taking a small break, gathering my forces for the final push on Brown Belt Requirements. Thanks to my good friends Bob and Becky for the hospitality at their beautiful Palm Springs oasis.
The Evolution of Brown Belt Requirements
Brown Belt Requirements continues to evolve. A 3 DVD set, discs 2 and 3 are complete, and disc 1 continues to be polished and refined. These things take time. I’ll also be including an audio CD, “Extended Meditations” which can be listened or rolled to. I am getting excited about releasing it, since it’s unlike any instructional DVD I’ve ever seen. Coming in March of 2012.
The New Site
A huge thank you to my friend Rick Ellis for designing the new website, and James Mathias for coding and implementing it. True professionals. Poke around and explore their handiwork. Well done!
David Camarillo Lesson
I feel fortunate to have participated in a private lesson with David Camarillo, Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu founder and an elite level Judo/BJJ black belt. It was superb. Dave and I discussed integrating Judo into Jiu Jitsu classes, flying kimuras, and much more. A very technical time. The hospitality from Dave and his lovely wife Shumei was also top notch. Special thanks to “Burns” for being uke.
Caio Terra Modern Jiu Jitsu
The best production value of any jiu jitsu video I’ve ever seen. I am inspired. Take a look!
RDA Holiday Schedule 2011
Regular classes all this week, with the exception of Saturday afternoon (New Year’s Eve). UFC this Friday night!
Great Match from Marcos
Great BJJ match from our friend Marcos Torregrosa. The transition at 3:30 is a thing of beauty. Study on this.
Tangled Triangle Interview
There’s a short interview up regarding BJJ branding with Megan Williams. Check it out when you get the chance…
Purple Belt Requirements Sale
I’m having a sale on the Eco Disc version of Purple Belt Requirements. Eco Discs are thinner and more flexible than regular DVDs, but play just the same (except on Mac laptops, which don’t like them for some reason).
I thought I was doing the right thing by moving towards this environmentally responsible medium, but reviewers on Amazon had never seen anything like them before, and were a little wary of this new technology. So, I have a limited number of EcoDiscs still on hand, and they’re available for only $25, including shipping and handling to anywhere in the world.
Send $25 to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and they’ll ship today. Plus you’ll be saving the earth, and who doesn’t like that?
