Franco Behring’s Mat General, Professor Marco Costa (Body of Four) will be running sport specific workshops once a month, covering different facets of the sport – from the rules to strategy and techniques. With a wealth of experience as both a competitor and a coach, Prof. Costa possesses invaluable knowledge for people wishing to be more effective in either role.

If you are interested in attending please feel free to contact Prof. Costa for more information at:

newaza@hotmail.com

Please note that there are only 12 slots available at each workshop and each session will be 2 hours in duration. As both actual techniques and theory will be covered, participants are required to bring their gi as well as a notepad to each workshop they attend.

Cost of each workshop is $20 per session (only $15 for head instructors).

Dates and times TBD.

BJJ is an integral part of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and, just this month, Ontario legislators officially legalized Mixed Martial Arts in this province.

On May 19, 2011, Jones Entertainment Group (JEG) will bring an 8-bout MMA card to the John Labatt Centre (JLC). The JLC seats over 9000 spectators and JEG promises world-class action, production, at a world-class venue. This event follows hot on the heels of the first-ever Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event to take place in Ontario on April 29th. While that UFC will undoubtedly be the largest MMA event in Ontario this year, MMA LIVE1 has potential to come in a worthy second place.

We will finally be able to witness skilled strikers and groundfighters mixing it out in our own backyard and, with any luck, one or more of them may be sporting the FBJJA crest!

Saturday, February 19 · 1:30pm – 4:30pm

94 Laird Drive
Toronto, ON

Tournament Fee: $30 / Spectator Fee: $10
