CAN YOU MAKE ME A FIGHTER?
It seems that every other day we get a phone call from an enthusiastic young man that wants to know if we can make him into a fighter. My first question is always "Have you trained before?" Most of the time, the answer is "No, but I watch a lot of UFC, and I just know I want to fight." Early on in my training, when I was lifting weights in the morning, then training Judo and boxing at night, I hadn't even seen my first UFC yet. I trained because I loved it. I couldn't imagine living without it. I craved knowledge and the exhilaration of a good workout. Hard training made me feel alive and not training was death. When I shifted to BJJ workouts in the AM and Muay Thai at night, it wasn't because I had dreams of glory in the cage. I just loved being on the mat, whether I was getting my brain scrambled by a punch or kick or submitting someone I couldn't tap the week before. After a few days at a training camp where we did six hours of BJJ, kickboxing, MMA and conditioning workouts a day, I was glad I never felt the urge to pursue a career in the cage. And I LOVE training! As exciting as the explosion of MMA is, those who have not gone through the grueling workouts can not imagine what those guys go through. As my friend and teammate Sergio "The Savage" Da Silva prepares to make his pro debut in Ring of Combat on February 4th, I marvel at the latest call I received this morning: -"Can I be a fighter?" -"Have you trained before?" -"I did a little boxing." -"How do you know you want to fight." -"I see it on TV and I know I can do it. So can I be a fighter?" "You can do whatever you want to do," was my response. Who am I to crush this guy's dream? The truth is, after the first workout, most of these guys will quit. Sure, someone will end up stepping in a cage or ring, but most of those with no success. Train because you love it. It's the only thing that will keep you going past the aches, pains and defeats. Love. Then, maybe, you can be a fighter. For the rest of us, we just train because it makes us feel good, and in the end, that's all that really matters.

NEW Beginners' Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) at Omni Martial Arts
Omni Martial Arts is pleased to announce the addition of beginners' Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to our class offerings. Sessions will be held from 7 to 8 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, and from 12:45 to 1:45 on Saturdays. This intricate grappling art evolved from Kodokan Judo and uses leverage and positioning to defeat an opponent on the ground. Classes will be taught by Sensei Julio, a BJJ purple belt under World Champion Vitor Shaolin. Sensei Julio has black belts in Judo and Japanese Jiu Jitsu and his expertise in stand up grappling lend unique perspective to the beginners introduction to BJJ. Since BJJ matches begin standing, it is critical for beginners to learn Judo throws and takedowns to get the match to the ground. Omni Matial Arts is a member of the Vitor Shaolin Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Association, and our BJJ program will be under direct supervision of Professor Shaolin.
