My trip to Black Belt at 50... and beyond!


My life took a funny turn four years ago...into a dojo! I took my son to karate and found that I didn't like being a spectator. I'm now wearing a black belt. I'm at Steve Lavallees Karate School, Ft Lauderdale NTC dojo. I started this blog to help remember my kata (they're on video, look down the left column). I also share my thoughts on the dojo and beyond. Thanks for visiting, please leave a comment behind. About BBat50.

Jiu Jitsu Self Defense Demo by Kyoshi Steve Lavallee

Note - here is a link to an updated post about Steve Lavallee.

About a decade ago, Kyoshi Steve Lavallee started training at the Gracie Academy in Miami. He has enjoyed it and incorporated some of it into our curriculum at the dojo.


Here's Kyoshi's demo of Jiu Jitsu self defense that he gave at a recent Black Belt Spectacular (Parker Playhouse, Broward County, Ft Lauderdale). Great stuff.






Digg!

How cool is that? I've never seen a demonstration anything like that for BJJ. Very interesting!

For better or worse, I'm pretty sure that your instructor's style of BJJ training is exceedingly rare these days. Thanks for sharing.
