Helio Gracie

Carlos and Helio took the art of jiu-jitsu and changed it from its formal Japanese style and turned it into an art that could win street fights common in Brazil. The Gracie brothers turned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu into the best ground fighting system ever created.

It is with great honor and pleasure that I extend to you my personal invitation to participate in the 4th World Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championships for Kids & Teens on Saturday, and Sunday July 16 & 17th 2011. This two day event will be a super value for the relatives and fans.

This is an exciting time for the sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I am honored and grateful for the opportunity to contribute to its growing success.

I would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to the parents, instructors, athletes, volunteers and above all the referees who continue to support the tournaments and make the events worthwhile. I hope your experience at this competition will be stimulating both physically and mentally.

May all of you excel in your skills and perform to the best of your abilities. It is my hope that you will have a positive experience and learn new techniques and skills to enhance your appreciation of the sport and the personal cultivation acquired through practicing them.

I wish you the best of luck and success in all of your endeavors and look forward to seeing you at the 4th World Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championships for Kids & Teens.

A Message To Parents

Romel_with_kidsFrom rich to poor, from featherweight to heavyweight, from bullies to victims, from aggressive to passive, I have watched students from all walks of life come through the doors of my schools in Southern California. Many times it is the parents that are at their wits end looking for a sport for their children, who are either performing poorly in school, struggling with behavioral challenges such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or do not enjoy traditional organized sports.
