8/08/08: Academy News:
I am very excited about how things
are going for our schools and the Midwest associations.
We are growing strong together and are developing a very
organized team; keep up the great job!!
We competed in the Ohio Buckeye Border Challenge on July
26th. Team Saulo did well with the higher ranks showing
their time training with Saulo/Xande and their instructors
has paid off. Bryan Slygh and Kris Magers closed out the
gi Open. Jeremy Harris and Justin Wehr went undefeated in
both the gi and no gi. Jeremy won the master no gi Open
and beat a tough brown belt in the gi as well. Justin won
his gi match in the purple belt and also won the advanced
no gi lightweight title. Brent Insco placed second in the
no gi advanced middleweight beating some tough opponents.
The blue and white belts won a ton on medals and matches
as well. We are proud of you all and keep training hard.
August 23rd - next association training - the Michigan Open
had to move to Sept 27th.
I am also planning on going to San Diego from September
14 - 21st. Saulo and Xande have invited me to visit and
watch/help with the training and teach some classes for
them. It will be a great opportunity for me to learn new
techniques as well. Our instructors are doing a great job
and will fill in for me when I am gone.
Brent Insco has become a distributer of the body wash DEFENSE.
We have bottles available at both the Toledo and Detroit
schools. This is a wash that keeps skin infections away.
It is only 10.00 per bottle and should last at least 2 months.
I highly recommend this product and it can be used up to
4 hours after you train. Remember to keep your clothes you
train in clean and yourself as well.
Next BADDOG MMA event is going to be in November!!
Remember, a Black Belt is a White Belt who never quits!!

8/08/08: SRJJA News:
The Master/Senior Worlds were held
in Brazil the weekend of July 25th. Gracie Humitia took
home the Team Trophy for the six year in a row. Regis Lebre
brought four guys including himself and they brought home
four medals. Gold medals went to Brian Rago (brown belt),
John Padova (purple belt); Silver medals went to Regis (black
belt) and John Disimone (brown belt). As always Regis and
his students were a force to be reckoned with.
Saulo will compete this coming weekend in the BJJ No Gi
Worlds in California. He will be in the middle-heavy division;
best of luck to him and the team.
Saulo/Xande student Fabricio "morango" Camoes will be fighting
Sam Morgan on Showtime's ShoXC, August 15th. It will air
at 11:00pm. Morango is coming off an impressive win over
Joe Comacho; first round TKO. We will be cheering for you.
Xande will make his MMA debut in Japan on September 28th,
fighting in the SENGOKU show. His opponent has not yet been
determined. We all know Xande is awesome and will continue
his success in MMA as he does in both gi and no gi tournaments.
This is great news for us Saulo and Xande students/fans;
another step in their already awesome history.
Saulo's book will be out by the end of September. He will
be doing a number of book signings and will be in Toledo
in November when we have the BADDOG MMA fights (exact date
cannot be locked in but 60 days in advanced).
The SRJJA Annual tourney will be in Toledo on October 4th.
This is a great time for all of us to hang out, learn from
each other and watch some great matches. More details to
come later.
Diego "nightmare" Sanchez will be going to battle with Tiago
"pitbull"Alves in the UFC on October 25th in Chicago. This
is a great opportunity for us in the Midwest to support
and see the UFC live. With this win, it would be hard to
imagine that Diego would not be up for a title shot; remember
Diego is undefeated since training with the champs.

Big News! - Jon Toth won the pro division
at the Grappler's Quest on June 28th. He did an outstanding
job, beating some very tough opponents. He won in the finals

Jon, way to represent.
We will be competing in Toledo on July 26th at the Buckeye
Border Challenge. Go to mma.tv - events for more details.
Sean Bansfield has a super fight and our team is going in
full force. The cost is great and you can have at least
four matches if you do both gi and no gi.
The next tournament after is August 23rd in Walled Lake,
Michigan - www.usabjjtouraments.com for more details.
We have added a wrestling coach to our Toledo Academy. His
name is Craig Hogan and he will be a great asset to an already
strong school. He has been added to the instructor page
and is available for private class at a great rate.
Also in Toledo, Chris has added a Wing Chun Do Gung Fu (wingchundo.com
for info) class on Friday. There will be open mat at the
same time as well. Check out the Schedule Tuition page on
the www.toledojiujitsu.com website if you are interested.
No extra cost to train in the new classes.
Remember, a Black Belt is a White Belt that never quit!

Fioravanti on June 21st. It was not an easy fight, the guy
was tough, but Diego was tougher. It will be interesting
to see who is next; he should be in line soon for a title
fight; one more win may do it. Diego has been undefeated
since training with Saulo and Xande. We will keep cheering
for you!!!! Don't forget!!!
On Saturday, July 19th I will have SRJJA training in Toledo
and a pool party and cookout after training; the training
is from 1 - 3pm. It is important that the association owners/instructors
and their high ranks come to this training if at all possible.
