Discounted Memberships for Service Men & Women

June 25, 2015 By Admin Leave a Comment

We would like to officially announce an update and revision to our membership pricing structure.  At this point, we are not raising any prices for our membership options; we are quite happy about being able to keep our prices stable while adding more square footage to our facilities, a dedicated changing room, better mats, and moving to a new location.

Today we are ecstatic to announce a permanent update to our pricing structure as it relates to police officers and service men/women. Starting today, we will be giving a $20 discount to all police officers, firemen, and members of the armed forces under the unlimited membership option.

To sum it up, if you are an officer of the law, you may come in and sign up for unlimited classes at a $20 discount off of the full price of $140.

We are very excited and proud to be in a position to offer this service to our community.  Police officers put their lives at risk every day for the benefit of us all.  We wholeheartedly believe that developing an expertise in grappling is one of the best ways to keep officers and citizens safe in situations where someone must be apprehended.

Our curriculum of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu incorporates Judo and Wrestling to create a comprehensive solution for getting someone to the ground with the least amount of effort and keeping them there in the most energy-efficient manner possible. We have had great feedback from current members who happen to be officers of the law. The overwhelming feedback is that their main reason for training with us is to increase their toolset for dealing with people when a situation escalates into a physical confrontation, and, thanks to the training they receive at Yemaso BJJ, they feel much more secure that they will be going home to their loved ones each day at the end of their shift.

If you are a police officer or know someone who is, please share this link with them. We want to keep our officers safe and make a statement that we support our service men and women.

Great day learning precise details from an elite american black belt!

This past Saturday, June 6th, Yemaso Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy had the distinct pleasure of hosting multiple time world champion Gianni Grippo.  Gianni has traveled the world and, much like instructor Marcos “Yemaso” Torregrosa, has learned from the best on his way to becoming one of the best.

Gianni’s Training Philosophy

Gianni shared a lot about his training mentality and how he goes about developing his game.  Gianni is a big believer in drilling techniques repetitively until they become second nature.  This is a concept that we have cultivated at Yemaso BJJ, and hearing one of the best in the game share the same sentiment validates our efforts and proves that we are aligned with the best principles to develop great martial artists.
 
The seminar went a good four hours as Gianni personally made sure everyone understood and applied the concepts he taught.  In addition, Gianni made himself available to roll with the students of Yemaso BJJ.  We ended the seminar with a question and answer session where Gianni allowed the students of Yemaso BJJ to ask him anything.
 
Gianni fielded questions regarding diet, organization of his time (he is also a full time student), specifics about techniques, and how he cares for his body.  Gianni also made it a point to talk about being a black belt on and off the mats.  Being a black belt on the mats is all about the skill and application of the martial art.  But, being a black belt off the mats is about being a kind, responsible, role model for others as it relates to everything outside of the martial arts.
 
Gianni was a great guest and we look forward to having him back again in the future. Yemaso BJJ is committed to the continued development of our students; we will always do our best to bring forth the most modern, efficient, innovation in martial arts.
