If anyone is looking for awesome boxing training, I work one-on-one with a fantastic trainer by the name of Humberto Alvarez (formerly of Florida Jack's) who teaches out of a small private studio. I highly recommend.
Joe, if you like, go to www.grapplearts.com/search.php, type in "Canada" and you'll get a list of all the Canadian Schools in my database. Feel free to rip them off.
Anyone else: if your school isn't listed (check at the url above) you can add it at www.grapplearts.com/schoolform.htm - then your school will be listed and you can sit back and watch the dollars come rolling in..... ;)
I was working in November on Dundas West in Toronto
and came across this dojo (I had heard of the guy's
name before, but this is the first time I had seen
or heard about this location). Does it sound familiar
to you Joe? Anyone?
Valter Sylvestre, Artes Divinas, Royler Gracie Team,
792 Dundas St., W., Toronto (between Bathurst and
Palmerston). dyvinesmartialart@sympatico.ca
When I was there in November, there were multiple
pictures in the store-front window of Mr. Sylvestre
with alot of the Gracie family, and a Royler Gracie Team logo/sign as well as other awards/pictures (one item I also recognized was a Joslin's Grappling belt that someone must have won at one of the Joslin's events, and they had it in the window as well).
When I went back this Monday past, they were closed
and all the pictures with the Gracie's and the
Royler Gracie Team logo had been removed. In their
places are pictures of Bruce Lee.
I didn't see a phone number advertised, and their
email address is not working as I keep getting emails
returned.
