Brazilain Jiu-jitsu is about more than chokes and armbars. It is a way of life that teaches camaradiere, discipline, and loyalty. It is also a lifetime journey that transends well beyond belts and winning tournaments. In the video below, Saulo Ribeiro, 6 time world champion and founder of our BJJ system, teaches these life values, shares insight as to what BJJ means to him, and teaches world class Jiu-jitsu to a handful of students.
Come experience it for yourself, as Saulo will be teaching 2 world class seminars at the Hybrid Training Center on March 13th.

Phil Wyman won First Place at Submission Only VI in no gi advanced masters division and second in the purple belt masters division. Great Job Phil!

Team Hybrid had 6 competitors compete in US Grapplings “Submission Only VI” tournament. Submission Only is a tournament series that has no time limits or points and do not end until  a competitor taps out. The tournament was grueling with several of the teams matches going over thirty minutes. Everyone who went fought hard and no one was injured. A great learning experience for everyone.

Thank you to Phil Wyman, Gary, Greg, Scott Horne,  Andrew Clark, and Akiemo Rollins for representing Hybrid Training Center and Riberio Jiu Jitsu!

 Word from the champ:

 Hello everybody and Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu Brothers. ADCC was definitely a great experience, we had a great team. Rani, Rader (66kg), Kron (77kg), Lavato Jr (88kg), Me (99kg) and Saulo +99kg) and Penny (+66kg). Rader and Kron lost on the first day, but had great performances. There were a few upsets on the second day, but in the end we showed great Team work.

 Speaking for myself, I won my division, and as a strategist, I tried not to waste energy and I won my division and did not give 100% yet because I knew I was going into the Absolute finals. We can’t deny destiny, I was strong and fresh to battle 20 minutes, but unfortunately I suffered a stretched chest muscle which made me quit in the finals. Sometimes we are so spoiled and want to do great and get mad at the loss and don’t see that in the end I won my division and I am now happy and grateful that I got my second ADCC title.

 I don’t know how serious my injury is yet, but I can move my arm in certain angles but have no power. This means no MMA for this year, now it is time to see my child birth, heal, teach and take care of you guys and come back ever stronger.

 Thanks to all of you for the support, I am really blessed to have all of you as friends, family and disciples; that is the true accomplishment in my life. I know a lot of you lost a day of sleep and I really appreciate that. I will see you guys at the annual and for those that can’t make it, I’ll be in Toledo for a seminar on November 28th and will be available for Semi-Private classes – (2 – 4 people). More details to come!!

 Hope all is well and my sincere thanks! See you soon, Xande.

 Other ADCC notes:

 Penny placed second, and Saulo and Rafeal placed fourth. It was a great showing by the Team. Saulo was not scored on even though he fought in the heaviest division and retired from professional competition to focus on coaching, the UNJJ and the Association.  I want to congratulate him on an awesome career as a top competitor in BJJ and submission wrestling; we will miss watching you, but will be thanking you for helping us to improve ourselves and the TEAM(s)!!

 Saulo and the UNIJJ Team competed at the American Nationals on the weekend of September, 19th. Saulo won the Ultra Heavy Master and Open Division. UNIJJ won the Team championship as well!! Go to ibjjf.org for all the results.
