The unfortunate truth about most Martial Arts and “MMA” gyms is that they don’t teach any Grappling Skills at all. An amazing 90% of all fights go to the ground… So what do you do once you get there? (Click here if you think you’re “Too Old” to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – Because You’re Wrong!)

Brief History of an Art: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the answer. Often called “The Game-Changer of the Martial Arts“, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was brought to the United States by the Gracie Family in the late 1900′s. The art itself was developed by Carlos and Helio Gracie after being taught Judo, Jujitsu, and other grappling arts by a famous performing grappler from Japan named Mitsuyo Maeda. After being taught the art, the Gracie brothers began teaching the techniques at an academy outside of Rio de Janeiro. Through teaching and developing the art, the brothers became well-known throughout Brazil for their fighting prowess, and their sons (famous names like Rickson Gracie, Royce Gracie, Renzo Gracie, Carlos Gracie Jr., and others) would bring the art to the USA and eventually around the world to become the powerhouse martial arts phenomena it is today. The Gracies became famous in the USA the same way they had in Brazil, by going toe to toe with other martial artists. The secret that the Gracies knew that the other martial artists didn’t know is that MOST FIGHTS GO TO THE GROUND, and as soon as the Gracies hit the ground, they proved the effectiveness of their martial art right away by dominating their opponents. Helio’s family began teaching their amazing art to family members who started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academies and created some of the world’s first great competitors including Alexandre Soca, World and Pan-American Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Champion. Coach Daniel, founder of the Black Diamond Academy, is a student of the great Alexandre Soca.

 

The Art of Leverage and Timing, NOT Strength and Power

It is well known that Helio Gracie himself was not a particularly strong or athletic person. He was actually considered “frail” through most of his youth, and he usually fought opponents much larger and stronger than himself, but he had something that they didn’t have – he had Expert Technique on the ground, he had a strategy and an approach to ground-fighting that allowed him to use leverage and timing to counter the strength and aggression of bigger opponents. Here’s Coach Dan teaching one of his famous leg locks – some of the same techniques he uses to Tap Out 200 pound opponents, when Coach Dan himself only weighs about 133 pounds! Pretty amazing, check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcU7O2Bs9Mc&feature=related

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: Your KEY for FITNESS

There is nothing - and I mean NOTHING – that compares to the kind of physical workout that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can provide!

No other activity uses every limb and core muscle in so many dynamic ways as Brazilian Jiu Jistu. Nothing develops FULL-BODY endurance and sculpting like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and nothing forces you to develop as much coordination and dexterity. PLUS, its a low-impact activity that literally anyone can get good at – regardless of how “in shape” you are now, regardless of age, and regardless of gender.

Helio Gracie – founder of “BJJ” – practiced well into his 90′s! Its a lifelong activity to promote health, strength, and confidence.

Don’t Be Fooled By FAKE Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes

Not all Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes are created equal. MOST OTHER SCHOOLS that run what they call “BJJ Programs” fall into one of two categories:

Extreme 1: FAKE-Jitsu 

At the Black Diamond Academy… you’ll never have to experience this…

In a FAKE-Jitsu class, instructors are not experienced or decorated in the art of Jiu Jitsu, and so teach students rigid techniques which they’ve watched on video tape. Students at these schools will often feel bored with the staleness of instruction – but won’t realize that they’ve take the WRONG PATH until they are actually forced to use their skills and realize that they can’t “put the peices together” and apply what they’ve learned. This is common with “KARATE” schools that decide to teach “BJJ” because its a money-making trend.

Extreme 2: The FIGHT-HOUSE

At the Black Diamond Academy… you’ll never have to experience this…

In FIGHT-HOUSE gyms, there are a select group of tough guys and the occasional competitor, and then there’s everyone else. In these gyms, new students get “thrown to the wolves” on day 1, grappling “full force” against experienced tough guys who have no problem “putting new students in their place” right away! This is not how new students should learn, nor is it the way a real Martial Arts Academy should organize itself.

Team Black Diamond Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – The ‘Flawless System’

Whether you want to be a competitor or get in shape. Whether you want to loose weight or just learn to defend yourself with a REAL effective system, Black Diamond‘s program is a match. This RI BJJ Training program is 2nd to none.

The way we structure our classes lets people select the benefits that they want – and let our systems take over to ensure that they develop AWESOME skills and get in the BEST shape of their lives. Here’s a look at the levels of BJJ classes in Rhode Island at BDMMA.

(We have Day, Evening, and Night Classes to fit ANYONE’s schedule, call 401-308-3229 for details!)

BJJ Essentials Class

In the essentials program, students will get to experience a full-body, sport-specific warm-up, followed by classes with a real Structured Curriculum that makes sure EVERYONE learns all the basic skills that they need to understand the ground game. This includes the fundamental submission holds, escapes, transitions, and dominant positions – in addition to some bonus techniques to “sharpen the sword” of your BJJ skill set.

BJJ Mastery Class

Most BDMMA students reach the Mastery Level within a matter of months (this is because people like our program enough to come back again and again to train with our Team). At this level of training, students will learn more Advanced BJJ technique and training strategies, in addition to new drills and exercise to build the NEXT LEVEL of fitness and skills. At the Mastery level, each student will start to develop the techniques he or she likes most, and will begin feeling extremely confident about their ability to defend themselves – because of out training system, moves become “Second Nature” faster than you’ll ever expect.

BJJ Black Diamond Level Classes

This class is purely invitation only. Instructors hand pick students who show dedication, sharp technique, and proper martial arts spirit. These classes are for those who want to SKYROCKET their BJJ ability. Students at the Black Diamond level set and meet their goals for improvement by following Head Instructor Dan Faggella’s “Turn-Key Goal Setting System” which he developed through research and collaboration with some of the best psychology researchers in the world at the University of Pennsylvania (where Coach Dan earned his Masters degree).

The Black Diamond level offers students an ability to experience and apply BJJ in circumstances that push a students limits physically and technically. For REAL self-defense, this is the Ultimate Training Environment.

 The Truth About Self Defense!

There’s a truth about self defense that the Helio, Royce, and the rest of the Gracie family knew about that most of their opponents did not. That truth is:

Over 90% of Real-Life Conflicts Go to the Ground!

That means that if you are attacked by another person, you’re going to have to know what to do once the fight hits the ground – and that’s where Brazilian Jiu Jitsu dominates. The Undefeated and Legendary Rickson Gracie once said the following:

“The ground is an Ocean and I am a Shark, and most people don’t even know how to swim…”

That’s the EXACT feeling you’ll have after training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – you’ll have a kind of confidence that you can’t get any other way. You’ll know that if an attack occurs, you’ve got what it takes to defend take downs, take the opponent down, submit him, escape from him, or whatever else the situation requires. Our submission grappling classes and Gracie Jiu Jitsu training will ENSURE that you learn all the essentials.

Few people are in as many real “self defense” situations as our friend and student, Officer Kyle Rooney:

Officer Rooney has used his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills to subdue many angry attackers – including one’s with weapons! He has used Kimura shoulder locks, Rear Naked Chokes, and special Takedowns in REAL LIFE against REAL “bad guys” who were coming after him.

Any Kyle isn’t the only one who’s used Brazilian Jiu Jitsu when it counts – he’s just one of many stories! Don’t get caught helpless if conflict comes your way! Prepare yourself with the most REALISTIC method of self defense, allowing you to restrain or devastate any attacker without having to be athletic or strong!
