Pedro Sauer BJJ Black Belt Keith Owen stopped by our academy on May 14-16, 2010 for a series of seminars. It was my first time meeting Mr. Owen and as soon as I picked him up from Bradley International Airport I knew I was going to like this guy. How could I not like him? We have a lot in common. He has worked in Law Enforcement, he trains cops at the Idaho Police Academy, he likes to fish, loves guns, his favorite martial arts movie is the original “Karate Kid” and he loves Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Sounds like my kind of guy.

Aside from running, wrestling is the world’s oldest sport. Early Babylonian and Egyptian reliefs depict wrestlers performing many of the holds used in the modern sport. In ancient Greece, wrestling occupied a prominent place in legend, literature, and the Olympic Games. However, its origin predates all those events. When early man first tackled one of his contemporaries to stop him from stealing his food, the double-leg takedown—and the sport—were born.
The Sunday morning class on March 21, 2010 was great! We had about 22 guys on the mat (although not everyone made it into the picture). Jim Kodzis covered some great striking and clinching drills. We wrapped things up with some no-gi grappling at the end. What made things even better was Gracie Sports BJJ Brown Belt Brad Wolfson showed up to train and roll with everyone.
