After a couple years teaching at the Gracie Jiu-jitsu Academy in Rio de janeiro, Professor Derizans (2nd degree Relson Gracie jiu-jitsu black belt and former brazilian champion) will be conducting a few Seminars around Master Relson Gracie's Associations in June, July and August.
Professor will also promote the grand opening of another Derizans Jiu-jitsu Academy in Hawai'i and in Portland, Oregon.
Stay tune for more Jiu-jitsu action.
Check out the dates and be there if you can.
Aloha & Tudo de Bom.
Andre was way beyond anything I expected. Great technique, tons of details, and...
THE GUY SPEAKS PERFECT ENGLISH!!! So you get the same class the brazilians would get in Rio with nothing lost in translation. This is a huge point. I brought it up to him after, about how impressed I was with his teaching skills and explanations.
I've been fortunate to have taken lessons w/ top level black belts from EVERY major team in the world to see the differences, and it has given me a perspective on teachers and teaching skills that I think few guys have.
Professor Derizans is an AMAZING teacher for the american market.
Damn Hawaiians!... You guys get all the great teachers!
Can't wait to train with you again Andre! Remember what I said about next year too!!!
So tomorrow he will be in San Antonio TX. Saturday with me again in Austin, then Sunday in El Paso! Take advantage, there is a reason he teaches class in Rio & he is a Relson Gracie 2 stripe Black Belt.
I am a Black Belt and I am inviting him to my school to help me get better, and to teach my students, because he is good enough to do that. It is needed. He is has been a help to my game since a Blue Belt. Now as a Black Belt he has helped me get a whole lot this trip.
