The Flavio Almeida seminar was a great success, thank you to everyone who came.
At the end of the first day we were all suprised when Professor Flavio Almeida promoted Jim and gave him his black belt.

Congratulations Professor!
Here’s a group shot of everyone who came to day 1:
197
The seminar covered a lot of material. The first day we covered guard passing and how to deal with various problems that arise.
The second day consisted of a closed guard series with many excellent sweeps and submissions. Professor Almeida concluded each day by rolling with everyone who came to the seminar two times. Nothing can really match the experience of rolling with someone of that skill level, and it was a great experience for everyone who attended.
