Our good friend and sponsored fighter, Rafael Lovato Jr., is releasing his first instructional series as an iTunes app all about Omoplatas.  It will be a three part series and part one is just about to launch just in time for the holidays.  Rafael Lovato Jr. is the 2nd American to win the Mundials as a Black Belt and the 1st & only American to win the Brasileiro as a Black Belt.  Just recently Rafael and his student Justin Rader won the 2010 No-Gi World Championships as Black Belts.

On October 9th, 2010 Lovato Jiu Jitsu was pleased to host the 12th Ribeiro Jiu Jitsu Association Tournament in Oklahoma City, OK. Leading up to that day, Lovato's welcomed many visitors of the RJJA to the school to train, get to know each other and exchange ideas. Throughout the week we were graced with more and more training partners. On the 8th of October we were able to take the instructors to a local restaurant, the Deep Fork Grill where they were treated to some excellent food, an amazing opportunity to hear from one another and share ideas.
