MY PHILOSOPHY

‪risk‬ more ,‪‎see‬ more, ‎gather‬ more, ‎process‬ more, fashion‬ more, ‎consider‬ more, love‬ more, ‎suffer‬ more, ‎imagine‬ more and in the end know why less means more (and leave what doesn't) and keep what implies and create what matters ###

I am a teacher of the arts, here are a fewI am affectionately proficient in:

* Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
* Judo
* NOGI Jiu-Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: the term “jiu-jitsu” in Japanese translates to the art of softness or the way of yielding. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling based martial art that traces its origin back to Japan and even further. The art is based on utilizing the momentum and movement of an opponent to take the encounter to the floor and force an opponent into ajoint lock or choke that will render them unable to continue the fight.

The art of Japanese Jiu-jitsu and Judo were brought to Brazil in the late 1800’s by legendary master Mitsu Maeda and passed down to the now famous Gracie family. Our instructor “Crazy” Tim Credeur began his studies under the Carlson Gracie Team in 1995 and has since received his Black Belt in 2005 under Carlson Gracie protégé and World Champion Rodrigo Medeiros.

Judo: meaning “the Gentle Way” is a japans based martial art that began in the late 1800’s. Judo is a form of martial arts and self defense that is based on the combination of many different schools or ryu of ancient Japanese Jiu-Jitsu forms. The father and creator of Judo was legendary master Jigori Kano.

Judo focus on a wide variety of throw’s, takedowns and counters to get an opponent of their feet and in a vulnerable position on the mat. Once on the mat submissions and positions are utilized to immobilize and subdue an attacker. Judo is an international sport and is practiced in the Olympic Games by many

NOGI Jiu-Jitsu: (also known as submission wrestling) is a style that combines the most effective forms of Freestyle Wrestling, Greco Roman Wrestling, Judo, Sambo and Jiu-Jitsu to effectively takedown and submit opponents without the use of the traditional GI uniform. This style has become popular due to Mixed Martial Arts fighting in America.
