Mad Tiger Academy Promotions!

admin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:11:46 +0000

Last night was promotion night at Mad Tiger Academy! After a lot of hard work, dedication and commitment Monica Oakley received her Orange Belt while Louis Oakley, Stevie Yuh, Dylan Cabral and Jarret Vasconcellos received their blue belts. Good luck guys and remember to enjoy the journey and keep training. The blue belt is the first step on the path to the black belt and also the last step for more than half the people who receive it! Keep training, never give up and work hard, it only gets better!

Also it was very special night for Kawika Samson who received his purple belt. Kawika has had a unique and interesting journey having started with Andre Derizan in a small garage in Waipahu many years ago. Through hard work, and perseverance he continued to train where ever he could and found a home at the Mad Tiger Academy in 2009. Kawika is an integral part of the team, congrats on your promotion! OSS!!

Saulo visits the Mad Tiger Academy!

On December 23rd, co-f0under and head of the Ribeiro Jiu Jitsu Association, Saulo Ribeiro, did a phenomenal seminar for association members and invited guest. Saulo started off with a very effective and efficient warm up that got every one sweating. He then went into the technique portion, after the first sequence (guard posture, a few techniques to open closed guard, and a pass) every one was blown away. This was followed by more knowledge than any one could handle! Of all the seminars I have been too, this was one of the very few where every one drilled non stop and would have kept drilling if there was more time! Speaking of time, although the seminar was scheduled for 3 hours, Saulo taught well beyond that to the delight of every one in attendance. At the end, he took questions and than talked philosophy of the association, jiu jitsu and how it relates to life.

A black belt is a white belt who never quit training, every day we are at the gym we are either closer to our black belt or closer to quitting, train smart, train right, keep training, and most importantly enjoy the journey! Great words of wisdom!!

Needless to say we look forward to having Saulo out again in 2012!!!!

Mad Tiger Academy is the only official Saulo Ribeiro school in Hawaii! Dedicated to the Art and Technique of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, all Gracie Jiu Jitsu classes are personally taught by Eric “Mad Tiger” Goo. For striking, we offer Muay Thai classes which are taught directly by.. Kru Dan Holley. In addition there are fitness and conditioning classes, as well as Zumba classes for those looking to get a good, fun, workout Our academy offers specialized programs for adults, women and children in one of the most effective martial art and self defense systems in the world.

WHY SHOULD YOU TRAIN IN GRACIE JIU-JITSU?

•One in six people will be the victim of a violent attack.
•One in four women will be the victim of a sexual attack in their lifetime.
•95% of all violent attacks and street fights end up on the ground.
•10% of victims of violent attacks do not survive the encounter.

You DO NOT have to be a victim. You DO NOT have to be a statistic. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the only self-defense system in the world that effectively deals with self-defense on the ground.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a man, woman, It doesn’t matter if you are small, weak, strong, or “over the hill,” Gracie Jiu-Jitsu will give you the tools to defend yourself in a real world attack
