GM Flavio Behring and GM Alvaro Barreto give Sylvio Behring his 7th Degree Black Belt

Here is some exciting news:

Master Sylvio Behring will be visiting the U.S. March 22nd, 23rd and 24th.

As you may recall, Sylvio Behring was elected president of the International Black Belt Council in November of last year. One of the reasons for this trip is to meet with the US Black Belt Council and provide assistance with their endeavors.

It has been quite some time since Master Sylvio Behring has been in the US and this marks the first time he has visited since he was elected to the IBBC.

And even more exciting, Master Behring will also be teaching a seminar at the USA Jiu Jitsu National training Center.

He will be introducing us to some of his own Jiu Jitsu techniques with a focus on sweeps. Master Behring has also developed a unique set of warm-ups that he will be demonstrating, which he calls the progression system. This system is more fluid and more akin to actually sparring.

This is a perfect opportunity to learn from a highly skilled practitioner of Jiu Jitsu and meet one of the leaders of our sport.
