C-Quence Jiu Jitsu hosted a second fantastic instructional seminar by Master Joe Moreira Nov 14th 2009 at our sister school Knock Out Riverside home of Black Belt Instructor Anthony Del Valle. Over 45 students enjoyed plenty of one on one time with one of the true pioneers of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
One of the most talked about highlights of this seminar was Joe's open Q&A at the end of an outstanding guard passing and submission defense seminar. What was most amazing was to not see and hear from a living legend of BJJ but for the first time get to be an active participant as Joe's demonstration partner. It's amazing how many tiny details are realized simply by feeling the technique of such a high degree instructor inaction. I know I like many others took away powerful new techniques and tiny devastating details to add to our arsenal for competition and for self defense.
My personal technique was Joe's triangle escape. One of which came down to proper posture and hip pressure, amazingly simple yet powerful escape.
For the first time my young son Zachariah came to watch, learn and meet Joe and our entire team. I know in time Zach will feel the draw of the mat and possibly pick up where his old man leaves off in this wonderful art.
As always Joe's visit marks yet another highlight in my path to understanding this wonderful diverse and devastating martial art.
I look forward to his next visit with eager anticipation.
Best Regards,
