Special thanks to Javier Vazquez!!
For those of you who missed it… Javier Vazquez joined Team Relson Gracie Colorado this past weekend and put on an awesome seminar. We appreciate Javier taking the time away from his family and academy to train with us. We look forward to seeing Javier again soon.
We are very proud to announce that teammate and Coach Wes Glassmeyer was promoted to Purple Belt earlier this month. For anyone who has ever trained in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu you understand how hard this is to achieve. Wes has dedicated himself to the Gracie lifestyle and we are proud to have him as a leader in the RGA family. Congratulations Wes!! Keep up the hard work.
Knee locks, ankle locks, toe holds, and heel hooks.
This is a very hot area under discussion in terms of use, safety, when and with whom to use them on. I have read lots of articles and blogs that are strongly for training with them and some against them. As I see it, they are part of the grappling world, and learning how to use them also trains a person how to defend against them.

At the end of last month, Jason Spallek and I traveled to Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas to teach Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. It was an honor to be on the mat with the soldiers and share some techniques with them. We had a great experience meeting and training with everyone. Our American soldiers truly are some of the finest people this country has to offer.

As young students tangle and contort on a floor of wall-to-wall mats, jiu-jitsu instructor Steve Hordinski watches and gently corrects the young combatants.
Hordinski, owner of Relson Gracie Colorado, is in the business of molding youngsters into more confident people, one technique at a time.
Special thanks to Jim Hannan and Jen Sutingo for coming out to train with us, it was a real pleasure having the two of you out here. If anyone is interested in learning REAL Gracie Jiu jitsu, sign up for 2 free classes and see if Gracie Jiu jitsu is right for you!

It’s going to be a exciting time for RGA in 2012. We have alot of momentum coming into the New Year and a lot of new faces are stepping onto the mat for the first time. We would like to welcome you all to the team and family. To everyone who has been with us from the begining, this would never be possible without you. We will continue to grow and inspire our students to be the best they can be on and off the mats!

Javier is one of the most technical Jiu jitsu practitioners I have worked with and a great friend. Check this counter out its pretty smooth
