Ousssssssssss!
With a combined total of over 80 years of martial arts experience, Professor Shah Franco and Master Sylvio Behring have shared their knowledge and understanding of what self defence should be: humane, practical and encompassing of all potentially violent situations.
Captured by internationally renowned photographer Moy Volkovich,
the book features step by step breakdowns of the positions necessary to comprehend the basics of self defence.
Also featured is a special piece by master artist, Renshi Rick McCarthy.
We look forward celebrating the evolution of Franco-Behring and this book with a fun filled evening, of music, performances, drinks and snacks.

Congratulations to one of FBJJA’s own, Roberto Ito (Whit Belt/Body of Four) for winning the gold medal for the Under 139 lbs (White/Blue Belt) category at this year’s Montreal leg of the Abu Dhabi Pro Jiu Jitsu trials, held on February 26/2011. Great work! Much respect to all other FBJJA competitors who rolled last weekend. OUSSSS!
During his trip to Edmonton for the Arashi-do/Franco-Behring instructor’s seminar this past weekend, Master Sylvio Behring recognized the efforts put forth by our leader here in Canada, Professor Shah Franco, and our competition coach, Professor Marco Costa, to the Franco Behring Association and to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Professor Shah was promoted to Sandan (3rd degree) and Professor Marco to Nidan (2nd degree).

I came across this on the web today and thought it should be passed on. I see how these can apply to all facets of life and not just BJJ. Oussssssss!
1. Be so strong that nothing can disturb the peace of your mind.
2. Talk to all people about happiness, health, and prosperity.
3. Give to all your friends the feeling of being valued.
4. Look at things by the enlightened point of view and update your optimism on reality.
5. Think only about the best, work only for the best, and always expect the best.
6. Be as just and enthusiastic about others victories as you are with yours.
7. Forget about past mistakes and focus your energy on the victories of tomorrow.
8. Always make those around you happy and keep a smile to all people who talk to you.
9. Apply the largest amount of your time on self-improvement and no time in criticizing others.
10. Be big enough so you can feel unsatisfied, be noble enough so you can feel anger, be strong enough so you can feel fear, and be happy enough so you can feel frustrations.
11. Hold a good opinion about your self and communicate that to the world, but not through dissonant words but through good works.
12. Believe strongly that the world is in your side, as long as you stay loyal to the best of yourself.
