    New Video Shows How Tua Tagovailoa’s Jiu-Jitsu Training Saved Him From Potential Head Injuries

    The 5-1 Miami Dolphins are absolutely cooking during the early season and they have, in part, Tua Tagovailoa’s jiu-jitsu training to thank. He is having the best year of his career so far through the first six games, completing more than 71% of his passes for 1,876 yards and 14 touchdowns with five interceptions. Miami is in the driver’s seat in the AFC East, and the AFC as a whole. The key to its success starts at quarterback. If Tagovailoa is on the field, the Dolphins have a chance to win. That was an issue in each of the last three seasons. The former No. 5 overall NFL Draft pick played just 33 games during his first three years. Injuries — including three ....

    Rener Gracie Explains Why BJJ Is The Best Martial Art On The Planet

    For how long have you been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? A month? A year? 10 years? More than that or something in between? Well, no matter how long you’ve been training, it’s probably been long enough to notice just how fantastic Jiu-Jitsu is. What’s more, Rener Gracie believes that BJJ is the best martial art on the planet. Why? He explained by comparing Jiu-Jitsu to a stock in the trade market: Besides the fact that it’s been proven effective against larger opponents for nearly 100 years, BJJ is the best martial art because it gives any person the maximum return for minimum investment. If each martial art was a publicly traded stock, and your investment ....

    Rio de Janeiro -- In a hilltop slum crammed between two of Rio de Janeiro's wealthiest neighborhoods, children practice Brazilian jiujitsu, hoping to follow in the footsteps of the black belts whose graffiti portraits decorate their gym's walls. Brazilian jiujitsu has provided an escape route for numerous kids from the rough alleys of Cantagalo, an impoverished favela whose shacks spill down a hill between the upscale beach neighborhoods of Copacabana and Ipanema. Taking a break from teaching holds to a group of boys grappling on the mat, jiujitsu master Douglas Rufino says he has seen the sport literally save kids' lives. "I can say it saved me, too," says Rufino, 41. "I could have ....

Your imagination and curiosity running wild, boundless energy, every day a new lesson, and every person a new experience. As a child, you have a vulnerable, defenseless nature that allows you to have an open mind and rise to the occasion of challenges using the stories, movies, or games that inspire you. But simultaneously are unexposed to the dark and scary monsters who take different forms and shapes, the ones who can suck your life force away or use peer pressure to make you anxious.

Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu near Coral Springs

Tim Coker

This is my third gym that I’ve trained at. I wanted to find a gym where I could get more 1-1 time with the head instructor and also where I felt part of the academy.

I knew from the first time speaking with Prof. Nei that I made the right choice. First off, from the minute you meet Nei you feel welcomed. He is smiling, easy to talk to, and genuinely enjoys people. And then you roll with him and you wonder how can this guy be so deadly but also so nice at the same time. Like a big bear. And then you realize that he is just a great professor and a great person.

He spoke about the history of BJJ as a self defense, and the importance of having a strong stand up game. Two things that the other gyms did not focus on. Everyday we practice take downs along with our ground game.

In conclusion, the gym is only as good as the professor and professor Nei is the man. He gives more instruction, direction, and invests more into his students than anyone that I’ve ever met.
