Machado Seminar

We were lucky enough to be able to go to the JJ Machado Seminar in Evansville, Indiana. It was hosted by Jiu Jitsu Concepts, a BJJ school owned by BJJ Black Belt Bruce Shephard.

JJ Machado is my coaches instructor, so it was cool to learn from the source. Jean Jacques showed up and everyone flocked to him, he took the time to shake everyones hand and got straight to work. There were 60 people on the mat and only two white belts. That was the first time I was on the mat with that many BJJ students at one time.

JJ was teaching a series from the turtle positions, it was a lot of awesome information that we were luckily able to pick up fast.

Great seminar!!! I am glad I had a chance to go.
