Special guest, Larry Shealy!
Hey everyone, good news! We’re going to have an Instructor Certification Course later this month. If you are an instructor, an assistant instructor, or just want to be an instructor eventually, you’re exactly who we want to help. Teaching Jiu Jitsu takes a certain set of skills that need to be just as developed as your skills on the mat.
We’re holding it over a three day period, June 25, 26, and 27th. It will be two full days of instruction on Friday and Saturday, then a partial day on Sunday followed by graduation and certification. It will be at the USA Jiu Jitsu National Training Center, 7841 Rolling Road,Suite D. Springfield, VA 22153.
As a special bonus, we’ll be having a guest instructor, Larry Shealy! Larry has been a member of USAJJ nearly from the get go, and is renown for his involvement in th Jiu Jitsu community. He is also a black belt, and a member of the Black Belt Council.
In 2003, Larry began developing the “Kid-Jitsu®” program along with the “Kid-Jitsu® Values Program”. This trademark registered program teaches children the fundamentals of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, while weaving targeted values into each lesson within the “Kid-Jitsu®” Children’s Curriculum.
So come down to the NTC and learn proper techniques for teaching Jiu Jitsu to other people. It’s guaranteed to be fun, and it will help you become a better teacher. Register online or call the NTC to reserve your spot now. Cost is free to member schools for the primary instructor, $175.00 for individual members, $250.00 for non-members.
USA Jiu Jitsu Welcomes Jacksonville Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Posted by USAJJ in charter school on March 16, 2010
Today we would like to welcome Larry Shealy, owner and head instructor of one of our newest charter schools, Jacksonville Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Larry, a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt instructor, believes that training in Jiu-Jitsu should be learned with consistent and intelligent practice, with impeccable technique, with constant repetition and with excellent use of leverage and timing versus strength and explosiveness. His philosophy is to “train for 30 years, not 30 minutes.” Thus, safety and knowing when to “tap” is paramount. Senseless injuries have never made anyone a better Jiu-Jitsu Player!
Jacksonville Brazillian Jiu Jitsu
Larry’s main goal is to promote the growth of BJJ, and his main method of encouraging this growth is through children with his trademark registered “Kid-Jitsu” program. The program teaches children fundamentally sound principals and techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, while also addressing 26 core values that are at the heart of the Kid-Jitsu Values Program. The techniques taught work for children of all sizes, shapes, temperaments, and athletic ability. Classes are taught in a fun, fast paced, and friendly environment. A significant amount of time is spent on the mat safely sparring with teammates.
Kid-Jitsu is not a program that is running kids through the belts based on how many classes the parents pay for, but instead, belt promotion is based on how much the student learns and progresses. The student must earn the promotion.
And while Larry see’s Kid-Jitsu as the best way to ensure the future of our sport, he doesn’t neglect the adults. JaxBJJ offers many different classes, from beginner to advanced. He also offers several courses based around Jiu Jitsu, including a women’s only self defense class.
So if you live in the Jacksonville area, stop by and talk to Professor Larry Shealy at JaxBJJ. There is a program
for everyone.
And take a look at Larry’s Kid-Jitsu page if your interested in incorporating Kid-Jitsu in your school.
