Leandro Vieira's Fight Zone USA officially opens on Monday Sept, 14th, 2009! We'll have early bird discounted memberships for the first 30 students, these are already going fast!

We will also have ADCC being run on the projector throughout the day!
So far, we have a few Check-Mat black belts confirmed including newly crowned US National Open Black Belt Champ, Joao Assis.
Will post more as we nail down our schedule of events.
We'll be there, all day. What time does the grand opening start?
This should be a great event to attend. If you live or visiting Los Angeles, you should come by. Its not always you get to attend a free seminar, train, and watch ADCC in the same day.

Thanks for all the support everybody. We hope to see a lot of forum members there.
We will also have black belts Lucas Leite, Ingamar Santos, and Marcelo "Lapela" Mafra there for you guys to meet and train with.
As for the classes, the training is going great. The evening classes are starting to fill up, but the morning classes (6 days a week, but especially the 7am classes) have pretty much been one or two students (blue or white belt) with the instructor. So, those guys are lucking out. This morning, Tony (blue belt) shared the class with Mattheus Costa (black belt), me (brown), and Leandro (black). I know he had a great time and i wish I had that at blue!

If anyone wants to carpool down from Sacramento I'm down. I train under Elizandro Beda, and I hear great things about Leandro.

We hope so. I know he teaches at OCJJ in the morning, but we are hoping that he comes up after his class. I'm thinking that it is likely that he'll be there.
