This weekend thePan American Jiu Jitsu tournament is taking place in Irvine, CA at UC Irvine.  The week of Pans is kind of a holiday for Jiu Jitsu practitioners.  De Boa Jiu Jitsu Academy looks forward to preparing for the next Pans, we will be bringing a solid team next year.

This year we will be represented by Purple Belt Tyson Antillon as he takes on one of the toughest divisions in the entire tournament.  Tyson's Lightweight division has the top 60 competitors around the world all fighting for the top of the podium.  We wish Tyson luck as he goes out and tests his skills, we know you will make us proud.  

A little side bit of information is that the Academy is getting close to being opened.  We recently ordered all the mats to be shipped, and the build out is largely completed.  We are only waiting on some permits from the city of Surprise, it won't be much longer.  We couldn't be more excited about the core group of students the academy will open its doors with.  Come try out some free classes today!

This is the time of year I am really grateful to live in Arizona, it is shorts and a t-shirt weather already. What the means is days out at the pool, lake or waterpark our right around the corner.  This is typically the time of year people really want to tone up and look their best.

Jiu Jitsu is great for improving your quality of life, weight loss and body transfermation is just one of the many benefits.  The best part about this kind of workout is that you will be having fun doing it.  With so many of Jiu Jitsu's basics involving the core you will get the best abdominal workout of your life. Seven minute abs is a thing of the past.  The future, your future, is experiencing the life changing art of Jiu Jitsu.  Besides the weight, what do you have to lose?

I am sure you have seen Ronda Rousey's finish of Cat Zingano in just 14 seconds by now.  If not check it out:

Jiu Jitsu has been proving itself since UFC 1 as an elite fighting system.  At De Boa Jiu Jitsu Academy we can't guarantee that you will be the next Ronda Rousey, we can guarantee you will be the superhero version of yourself. 

Come learn one of the essential styles of today's current MMA scene and also a great way of self defense.  In Jiu Jitsu a smaller person being attack can neutralize the attack of a much larger person by the use of technique.  Jiu Jitsu don't leave home without it!
