At the end of December, Cassio Werneck of GMA Cassio Werneck BJJ in Sacramento, CA hosted an event to help a teammate’s son and his struggle with Bilateral Retinablastoma. Ever since Kaden was ten days old he has been fighting for both his vision and now his life. Jiu-Jitsu practitioners from all over Northern California came together in support of Kaden’s fight, and also to get some excellent training with people they might never have gotten to train with otherwise. They held an open mat session with donations, which started in the morning and people were still rolling late into the afternoon.

Another big event at the academy came in January. Cassio bestowed the rank of black belt to three more students: Davin Maxwell, who runs Sacramento BJJ Fight Academy with his father Terry Maxwell (who is also a Cassio Werneck black belt), Merrick Hamilton who was been tearing up the competitions lately, and professional MMA fighter and multiple time & weight champion Jaime Jara.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu emphasizes grappling techniques used to defeat an opponent. The goal is to attain a dominant position and then to apply a submission technique in which to defeat an opponent by way of submission. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is not only a must have for Mixed Martial Artists it is great in real world applications too. Not just for personal self-defense, Jiu Jitsu is also used by law enforcement officers, correction officers, security guards, body guards, bouncers and military personnel. This is due in large part to the fact that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu doesn’t rely soley on size and strength, rather it utilizes leverage, positioning and timing. This makes jiu jitsu ideal for men, women and children of all ages.
