 Last week we had Carlson Gracie Team Black Belt Ricardo "Rey" Diogo out for a 2 hour seminar.  Like always Rey delivered.  He covered a lot of technique starting in the stand up and finishing with some half guard defenses.  
Once thing when you train with Rey, you always get a simplistic approach to everything and solid technique with an emphasis to the details of the positions and the strategy behind applying them.

Last week at the Indy PAL club in Indianapolis saw 3 guys get promoted in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  Each have worked hard and have earned these ranks with hard work and tons of hours on the mat.  Rank in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu doesn't come easy or often.  There are only 3 belts between white and black belt and the journey can span between 6 and 10 years... sometimes even more.  Therefore, recognition is deserved each step of the way.

The Carlson Gracie Indianapolis Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Team showed great success last month at the EGO BJJ Event.  The Team took 2nd place overall and showed why they belong to the Greenwood Jiu Jitsu scene. 
Here is a team pic minus a couple members that weren't able to stick around.  April 28th, 2012, we sent over 9 competitors and came home with a total of 6 1sts places and a couple of 2nds!  It was a great showing for everyone that went.

Rey Diogo will be coming out from his school in Los Angeles to teach a seminar at Carlson Gracie Indianapolis Jiu Jitsu.  Rey is a cornerstone on the Carlson Gracie Team, a proven competitor, and a great teacher.  Come join us as Rey shares a wealth of knowledge and experience.

 Budovideos did a great job of streaming this event live to every one and the Pan Ams this year was HUGE! There were a lot of big names showing up to defend their titles and a lot more talent coming in to try their luck.

One of my favorite submissions and one of the first one that you learn when you begin training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the Kimura armlock.  It is one of the first submissions because of it’s simplicity however just because it is easy to learn doesn’t mean that it isn’t effective.  It is one used at high levels of MMA and BJJ and can be devastatingly successful if applied using the correct mechanics and technique to set it up. 

 We would like to first thank everyone that came out for the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu seminar on Friday, March 23rd,  and made it a success.  Carlson Gracie Jr. ran through a series of techniques, showing each one with explicit detail.
