1st Brazilian Jiujitsu Black Belt Network"

My name is Anthony Del Valle, I’m a BJJ Black Belt and manager of ASG Mixed Martial Arts Training Center in Moreno Valley California .

Let me ask you BJJ Black Belts several questions…do you find it difficult to get training partners that match or exceed your skill level?, once you had achieved your black belt did your growth and skill progression slow?, do you come up with new variations or entirely new techniques and wonder if it will work on another black belt or maybe if another black belt could refine and polish the move even better?, do you wonder what new effective techniques are being used in tournaments and can you teach them to your students?

Anyway, guys I have the solution to those questions. Wouldn’t it be really cool to have a room full with 10 black belts that are training, exchanging new moves, sharing tournament experiences, discussing different teaching methods and elevating the game of jiu-jitsu?

That is exactly what I am trying to accomplish with forming the 1st Brazilian Black Belt Network in Southern California. Guys, there is no membership fee or charge to participate, it is completely voluntary…all you need to be is a BJJ Black Belt and desire to train with other black belts. I envision that we all will meet once a month or every other month at different schools to allow everyone the chance to host a training meeting. We will have a flexible training agenda so it doesn’t become only a social gathering. We will do both gi and no gi training and the host school will arrange lunch for all the black belts…at no expense to the host school.

I add that some organization are already doing this…I’ve heard stories of people training at Gracie Barra and at any given day there will be 5 or 6 black belts and countless brown and purple belts training all together. I’m always jealous thinking WOW that must be some good training and valuable experience. Well, we can do the same with a network of black belts willing to get together and train together. It will only make your jiu-jitsu better, make you a better teacher and perhaps in the process make you a few good friends.

For all you brown belts and purple belts, please pass this information to your instructors…the plan is to have this network formed and ready for you to come join us when you achieve your black belt.

wow- sounds like a good idea. Too bad i don't qualify!

[andrehbjj]

Definitely count me in. I look forward to it! The only problem I see is that it might be tough to get a big group together because of the potential for having to compete against each other in tournaments. I dont mind, but others might.

Anyway, I'll send you an email and will be glad to drive out to wherever to train.

Thanks,

Andreh

Hello Guys

Things are moving fast for the Network we already have 10 black belts that will participate in the training session. The proposed date is November 17th, start time 10:00am and the first session will be held at the MMA training center in Moreno Valley, California...visit website for exact address (www.asgfacility.com)

I am hoping to have 12-15 black belts for our first meeting so be sure to past on the information to any other black belt.

The current training agenda will be as follows:

10:00am Introductions- everyone meeting eachother some for the first time
10:30am brief discussion and any questions answered by host- Anthony Delvalle
10:45am Members will show unique Jiu-jitsu drills that they use for their students- (demo open to anyone)
We will do some of these drills and warm-up at the same time.
11:30am Members will share Jiu-jitsu techniques- (open to anyone, I'll ask for volunteers at the time)
12:30pm Open sparring
1:30 pm Break for lunch
2:30 pm Problem solving- Best time to ask the other black belts for recommendations to deal with any problems that you have in your jiu-jitsu game, i.e. escaping from a certain position, finishing a certain technique...or anything you want. This should be an exciting time...you get to ask other experts (that you've just rolled with) for recommendations to help your personal Jiu-jitsu development.
3:30 pm Close of meeting- chose future trainng date, host school, training agenda, close out any business


This training agenda is flexible, so any suggestions you have will be considered.

Also, this is an exclusive black belt training session not open to the public...there will be no filming and no large crowds, so be selective on who you bring, i.e. wife, girlfriend, buddy, etc. Let me know if you need to discuss this with me.
