CYBORG..CYBORG..CYBORG
What can we say but THANK YOU
to Professor Cyborg for the seminar on the 20th!
It was extremely informative and the techniques demonstrated were
incredible. I think we all left
more motivated than ever to change our games and open our minds to some
different techniques and
personal philosophies. I think the quoute of the day for me
personally was
"You should practice
jiu-jitsu to become a BLACK BELT! Nothing more, nothing
less.
The BLACK BELT is only the beginning...if you are here just to be
here and not become
a BLACK BELT, then why are you here. That should be your
goal..."
There was a lot more shared with us
all but we all have a reason for being where we are RIGHT NOW!
There are a ton of what I call "Perpetual Blue Belts." Those who
started but found an excuse to stop.
DON'T BE THAT PERSON...commit yourself to the goal of becoming a
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt.
The road is long and full of ups and downs but when you get there...I'll
let you write your own story!
Pictures are coming but for now
check out facebook/jbmbjj.
The schedule is changing on the 1st
of September. PLEASE get your copy at the Academy.
UPDATES GALORE...

APRIL 2011
WEBB! WEBB! WEBB!
WEBB!
One update for us...Coach Webb
competed in the No-Gi Division and loses by
advantage after a 0 to 0 score. Remember, Webb is competing at the
Black Belt level and
is gaining some invaluable experience. We are waiting on results
from the Gi division
which is currently underway and will keep you posted!
BIG THANKS!!!

We had a GREAT time training with
Professors Mike and John from Delaware. Our friends brought their
students down and we all had a good time. Thanks to Professor
Larry (where's Waldo) Norman for
stopping in and participating as well. All of the Black Belts
taught a technique or two and the training began
after that. Also, we celebrated our 4th Year Anniversary!!!!

We proved a lot of people wrong for
sure! We made our 4th year and we are stronger than
before. We have some good things planned for the rest of the
year...Stay tuned.
Coach Jonavin Webb is in Abu Dhabi
competing in the Invitational Tournament there. A 18 hour flight
from NY to the U.A.E. We are extremely proud of him as he has
accomplished so much in such a
short period of time. Coach has a tremendous future in this
Martial Art and this is just the beginning
for him.
Enjoy the photos...remember we have
videos of some of our training sessions on facebook.

NEW
BLUE BELT AT THE ACADEMY!!!!
Caleb Cooper received his much
deserved BLUE BELT in class last
night.
CONGRATS to Caleb.
YOUTH CLASS
Youth Class members have been
pushing themselves very hard over the last couple of weeks.
We are extremely proud and happy with their efforts...
FUN
DAY AT BIG LEAGUE DREAMS
I will have photos up shortly, but
WHAT A GREAT TIME! Thanks to ALL of the parents who
came
out with the youngsters to participate and eat some of the goodies,
which were absolutely delicious!
We were trying to have an injury free event but Mr. Standen trying to
stretch a single into a double
injured his ankle. We hope he is ok. (It's only wiffle-ball)
Kids remember to get your designs
in for the T-Shirt contest!!!! The deadline is fast approaching.
GOODFIGHT RESULTS....3.12.2011
Thanks to ALL the competitors and
the supporters who came out to cheer on our members. It is always
a good time when everyone gives 110% on the mats.
FIRST UP....
Jake Cann
What can you say about the effort
that this guy brought to the table! WOW!
1st Place No-Gi
3rd Place Gi
Jake showed up and definitely left
his mark on his division. Outstanding "guard" work displayed
by the young Cann. I am truly proud as we all are of Jake's effort
and sportsmanship exhibited
during this tournament. GOOD JOB JAKE!
Tim Scott
2nd Place No-Gi
2nd Place Gi
Tim had to compete in the upper
weight class due to his size. His competition, a 217 pound 13 year
old!
That's right...217 pounds. Tim fought him a total of 4 times in
both the Gi and No-Gi divisions and came
away with two silver medals. Outstanding! Way to step up and
fight Tim, remember size plays a role
in this art as well as the others, but in time...it won't matter.
I am happy that you chose to "TEST" yourself
when you didn't have to. This my friend shows true heart and
spirit. CONGRATS!
Charlie Tiggett
Benjamin Baez
"Caleb" Cooper
To the Adults from our program who
competed but fell short of the medal rounds, Outstanding effort
displayed by all. No one complains about the ending as long as
there was full effort during the matches.
As always, there are things WE ALL have to work on, but getting out
there on the mats is the hardest
challenge of them all. Testing yourself against others takes
tremendous heart, courage and
belief in the art of Jiu-Jitsu. Thank you for testing yourselves
in the arena. More time to test
ourselves coming...

COAST PRO TRIALS
Coach Webb, Rahb Cook and Nick all
competed at the ADCC trials this past weekend in Jersey City.

venue. Jon came out on TOP in
his division with Rahb coming up the other side of the bracket securing
second place. EVERY match was
was tough! Both guys then competed in the Absolute Division
fighting against the other top 3 finishers
in the Purple Belt division and Jon came away with second place.

HONOR
ROLL STUDENTS
We have to remember what we are
trying to accomplish with the kids....
the development of young men and women both inside and outside of the
classroom.
EXCELLENCE in the classroom is equally if not more important
than the training at the
academy. We hopefully have played a part in their personal,
physical, educational and emotional
development over the years. We take pride in assisting our Youth
members with their pursuit of
educational excellence. So, we pay tribute to those who
sacrificed, studied and made the HONOR ROLL
at their respective schools for this first marking period!

2nd
ANNUAL TURKEY BOWL

The 2nd Annual Turkey Bowl was a
good time. We had a good representation from the school members
and we expect more to show next year! The game ended in a
tie...1-1. Best of ALL, there
were NO INJURIES! Everyone left the same way they came, just a
little cold and wet due
to the snow and ice. Picture perfect Football weather.
Enjoy the pictures...

LATE HIT!!!

Professor after the pass. I thought this was TOUCH.

Let us share some of our good
fortunes with those who are just as deserving. I will be asking

some school members to assist with the delivery once we decide on which
location we will be helping.
Academy students (youth members) not attending the seminar can also
donate a food item as well.
During the week of the 16th we will be collecting the

Highlight of the Tournament: The Leek Brothers took
home 5 FIRST PLACE SWORDS!!!
Academy members traveled to
Essex County College in Newark for two days of competition.
On November 20, our Adult members competed. Tough day for
the Adults, but the lessons
learned were extremely important. Those who wish to compete must
take a different approach
to training and preparation. You cannot take lightly your
opponent, no matter what division
you are in. Novice, Beginner...DO NOT think that it will be
any easier competing at these levels.
You never know the experience level of your competitor UNTIL the
match begins!
BE PREPARED!!!

BREED RESULTS
Coach Webb got the win on
Saturday night due to a disqualification. His opponent struck Jon
while he was
attempting to get up which is a no-go. Coach Webb is now
3-0
in his amateur MMA career. Coach
suffered a slight concussion due to the strike but is now ok. A
little rehab and we will be looking
to schedule his next fight soon....
