On Saturday, December 17, Five Rings Jiu Jitsu continued its educational series with Keisuke Andrew coming in to teach a leg lock seminar to the members of A Firma.
It was an amazing two hour clinic - great details, great instruction, great stuff!!!
If the devil is in fact in the details than I spent the weekend with him. Me and the Five Rings Crew (Tom, Eric, Louisa, and Greg) were fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to attend both days of the Caio Terra seminar which was hosted by our friends from Gracie Technics Oregon. My fellow training partners knew that I had been looking forward to this opportunity for quite some time, as I have spent countless hours pouring over the many techniques featured on Caio’s recently released half guard DVD. Caio began the seminar in unique fashion, first he lined us all up by belt rank so that he could better judge the students in regards to ability and understanding. Second he threw out 5 different techniques and allowed the students to choose which one he would teach by a majority vote.
On Saturday, November 12, eight Five Rings athletes and a troop of supporters travelled up to Bonney Lake, WA, to compete in the Revolution Tournament. It was a particularly cool day because the Seattle Ribeiro affiliate - Miller's Martial Arts Academy - came as a part of the Ribeiro Lovato NW Team.
