Every one had a great time as Andy and Louie shared there special and unique blend of Judo and Jiu Jitsu. The brothers hung are easily two of the most personable and technical instructors in Oregon. The night started with a classic Judo through, Ippon Seonagi and ended with Andy’s trademark Ezekiel choke.  Look for big things from Portland Judo in 2012!

On Saturday, December 3rd, his three (plus) hour seminar covered very technical concepts and revolutionary half guard passes. At the end of the day every one was suffering from information over load (and sore necks!). Although it was a lot of information everyone took something away!

On Sunday, December 4th he conducted a second seminar focusing on Terra guard. It was nothing short of AWESOME!

 

Special thanks to Caio Terra for taking the time to come out and share jiu jitsu with us, Tom Oberhue and five rings jiu-jitsu (http://www.5rjj.com/), Zach Adamson and the Oregon Coast Jiu Jitsu (http://www.orbjj.com/), K.c. Thompson and impact jiu jitsu (http://www.impactjj.com/), Harold Utterbeck and NWMA (http://www.nwmaacademy.com) and every one who came out to support! OSS!!
