HIG Martial Arts 2012
More action from HIG Martial Arts. Fantastic promo. Did I mention that Byron also won first place at Subleague too? Check out the fastest submission of the day, a 17 second armlock. Bravo!

Had a fantastic time in Medford at Higinbotham Martial Arts (HMA). Byron and his lovely wife were perfect hosts, and I was able to share some of my techniques in a 3 hour Saturday seminar for 28 students. Lotus Club had a several talented guys attend, and I was also able to evaluate a few HMA members on their progress to blue belt. Byron has a really unique facility with both Parkour and BJJ available, and I see a very bright future for that club. I look forward to my next visit and thank all that attended for their attention.

Spirit. Focus. Heart. This is the way we live forever. By coming together and celebrating the moment.

I like to think of this as related to “The Spirals of Jiu Jitsu”. A cousin, slightly more positive, and also the last chapter in Disc 1 of Brown Belt Requirements. Remember, it’s not about doing it. It’s how you do it. After all, this is your personal expression.

I’ve teamed up with a company called App-o-Day to release The White Belt Bible as a free download for 48 hours. Download for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch instantly.

A masterful film on every level. The guidance of Professor Moura and the storytelling of Stuart Cooper are a special combination. Study on this.

Please help me in congratulating Shane Bishop on an excellent blue belt demonstration. It was also a milestone for Mavericks BJJ, as this is their first colored belt promotion.
On a side note, all the songs in this video are from “Extended Meditations” which will be included in the Brown Belt Requirements DVD set. Bravo!
