After a couple of years of having Jiu-Jitsu classes only on Wednesdays, we are now expanding. There will be beginner Jiu-Jitsu classes:

Tuesdays: 5:45 pm – 6:45 pm
Wednesdays: 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Fridays: 5:45 pm – 6:45 pm

If you live in or around Quincy, MA. Please let your friends and family members know about our Beginner Jiu-Jitsu program for adults. In this program, you will learn the 36 core techniques of Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, safe, and cooperative environment. Each one-hour lesson addresses one standing and one ground self-defense technique. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience and, since safety is our number one concern, there is no competitive sparring in this program.

Although Jiu-Jitsu consists of over 600 techniques, studies of real fights conducted by members of the Gracie Family (founders of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) have shown that 36 techniques have been used more often and with greater success than all the other techniques combined. Originally developed for the U.S. Army, our Beginner Jiu-Jitsu Program is entirely dedicated to the mastery of these 36 essential techniques. You need absolutely no experience to start this program. Our instructor conduct all classes in a cooperative training environment and are committed to ensuring that every new student has an informative, enjoyable experience regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability.

Guns vs. Knives

What does a not-so-picture-perfect knife-attack scenario look like? Combat Focus Shooting expert Rob Pincus talks about that in his latest video, shot exclusively for Black Belt Magazine.

As a practitioner of shooting and knife fighting. I tend to criticize many so called self-defense experts demonstrating anything with guns and knives. I will give this article and video a thumb up.

I particularly like the duck under move used by Pincus, it provides some control in a better position.

Joe Lewis’ Top 10 Martial Arts for Self-Defense

http://www.blackbeltmag.com/daily/mixed-martial-arts-training/boxing/joe-lewis-top-10-martial-arts-for-self-defense/

Joe Lewis is definitely a well accomplished martial artist and I respect him very much for what he has done for martial arts, especially in America.

Black Belt Magazine published Lewis’s recent decisions on which martial arts is most effective for self-defense. I can agree to why Lewis chose the martial arts that he did except for one.

What the hell is Outlaw Tai Chi?

I come from a family of Tai Chi practitioners and they never heard of such thing. I am not the only one to question this decision. I think Black Belt Magazine or Joe Lewis him self needs to explain.

Does anyone know what is Outlaw Tai Chi, because I don’t.
