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.

If you love Jiu Jitsu (which you probably do) and live anywhere near the National Training Center in Washington D.C., you need to come visit us next week to see Sylvio Behring.
Grand Master Sylvio Behring
Master Behring will be teaching a seminar at the NTC on Monday, March 22nd and Tuesday, March 23rd from 6 PM to closing time. The best part is the price of the seminars: They’re FREE! That’s right, free. You can come learn from one of the greats of our sport for free. This is an unbelievable opportunity to learn Master Behring’s own style of Jiu Jitsu.
Master Behring is the President of the International Black Belt Council. He is a 7th degree Black Belt. He is also the man who awarded former UFC fighter and BJJ World Champion, Fabricio Werdum his black belt. One of Master Behring’s many activities also includes coaching current UFC Middleweight Champion, Anderson Silva.
Master Behring was honored as the Best BJJ Coach in Brazil in 2003 and is currently regarded as one of the BEST BJJ instructors in the world. And next week he will be teaching at one of the best Jiu Jitsu organizations in the world.
Do not miss this seminar. Master Behring will be explaining his personal Progressive Guard System, which he has been invited to teach to the U.S. Army. This is your opportunity to learn this style from the man who invented it.
This seminar is open to everyone who has a love of Jiu Jitsu. If you can make it, it’s going to be an event that you’ll talk about long after it’s over. And of course, it’s FREE. Really, there is no reason for you not to attend. We’ll see you there.

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.
Keep an eye on our blog: as more information becomes available closer to the date, we’ll keep you informed.
