Dear friends and students, the wait is over!!! We are very excited to announce that the renovations to our NEW ACADEMY are complete. The new academy measures in at 180 square meters. That's more than TWICE the size of our original academy at the Olympic Sports Center.

We are happy to announce that Professor Pedro "Bebe" Schmall will become a permanent member of our Academy teaching staff, starting this May 2008. Pedro hails from the birthplace of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu--Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, where he began his career as a member of the Carlson Gracie competition team.
