Andrew Smith will be teaching a seminar for us instead of class on Monday, June 21 at 8:00 PM. Please stop by for class! Cost is only $20 for non-Balance students, free for Balance students. Andrew is a black belt in BJJ from the Revolution BJJ team. From his web site:
After wrestling in high school, Andrew started doing Judo at VCU Judo in January of 1997. Nine years later, Andrew got his Black Belt in Judo. In November of 2008, Andrew was awarded the rank of black belt by the legendary Julio “Foca” Fernandez after training with his instructor and friend Eric Burdo at Richmond Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Andrew has learned through “trials by fire” what works and what doesn’t in competition, with over 250 grappling competition wins including: including three 2008 Pan American Jiu-Jitsu Championship Gold medals (along with silver in 2003 and bronze in 2004) and 5 Virginia state judo championship gold medals, as well as several super fight titles.
Andrew is still an active BJJ competitor and has evolved into one of the most active Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and submission-grappling coaches in the country.
