First day of our Camp
We had a paced class tonight with guests from all over the US and abroad coming in to train with our World Champions.
Jacare led the class and layed out the agenda for the week. We will be focusing on specific situations everyday in order to sharpen our skills for the Mundial coming up in June. Today's theme was passing the guard, Jacare showed some of his favorites and Alec Bualding assisted and showed a few variations of his own.
After the techniques, we worked some specific training and then rolling. Once everyone was good and tired, we drilled again in integrate the techniques into our muscle memory
There are still some spots available for a few sessions this week, anyone interested in coming down please contact us at 404-843-0606 or info@alliancebjj.com

Mundial Hotel Tip
Thanks to James Graziano for looking out for us. He sent me this message today
Just to let you guys know...the Long Beach Marriott, 4700 Airport Plaza Drive · Long Beach, CA 90815 USA has a Mundial rate of $99 per night with up to 4 per room. (The regular rate for that weekend is $189, so it seems like a pretty good price based on the rates I've seen for other hotels in the area- though no breakfast is included.)
Let me know if anyone knows of a better deal/option.

Alliance's Romero "Jacare" on the Brazil Nationals
Alliance leader Romero "Jacare" Cavalcanti gave us this exclusive
insight on what's up with the top competition BJJ team in the World
today: "I have been very busy, travelling and conducting seminars
and training hard with the team here in Atlanta in preparation for
the Worlds. Our camp begins on May 23 with our affiliates, so
many of them are coming to prepare with us. The team is in great
form and I'll take at least 20 all medal contenders, they all have a
great chance as we don't want to make life easy for anyone!
We've just won the Brazilian Nationals with 110 points, the second
place Check Mat had 52 and 3rd place Nova Uniao had 45. We
scored more than twice the runner up points. I am very happy
for everyone in our team. In Biella, Italy Bernardo Faria won
everything and was the big nae of the event. Now the only thing
missing to complete our Grand Slam is the Worlds. This is our
biggest challenge and no other team has ever achieved it."
