News!

Ed Hamlet wins his first MMA contest. Ed Hamlet, of Mosinee, won his first MMA contest on Saturday, November 29th in the second round by armbar submission. Ed has only been training at GWMA for 3 months, but used his BJJ skills to finish the fight. Nice work Ed!

New student testimonial about the benefits of BJJ training. Justin Grabko, a student of GWMA for 3 months, stated the following:

"I have been practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for three months now, and I've gotten into the best physical shape that I've been in since High School. It's a great workout and has you escape the events that you experience with your personal life since you're so focused on learning the technique and trying to perfect it. I came into the gym weighing at over 200 pounds and now I'm down to near 175 pounds; feeling more energetic and healthy. It's a fun, technical workout, and when you walk in, everybody leaves their egos at the door. You feel more comfortable than at a regular gym since everyone is so helpful and the more experienced grapplers guide you and lead you by a great example. It'll also make you a better person physically and mentally; and will give you more confidence in whatever you try to succeed at. "

Luiz Claudio amazes seminar participants, again!!! On Saturday, October 25th, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Champion Luiz Claudio returned to Great White Martial Arts for another high-energy seminar. As usual, there were frequent oohs, ahhs and head shaking heard and seen from the seminar participants. Professor Luiz followed his phenomenal technique demonstrations with detailed explanations of why the moves should be performed in such a manner. Finally, he spent time making the techniques work for each of us. To paraphrase Ben's description of Professor Luiz, he does things that nobody should be able to do and makes it look easy... Professor Luiz will return to Wausau in late March of 2009. Seminar participants
