Gracie Seminar, Arizona!

17Jan07

I found this on Craigslist. A seminar that is being taught by the sons of legnedary Rolls Gracie! You get a 2 for one with this. 1, you get to do a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Seminar with not 1, not 2, but 3 Gracie family members and 2, your money for the seminar goes to the National Parkinsons Foundation. So you do a little good while having a great time. So, if you are anywhere in the state of Arizona, I suggest you don’t miss this one. Below is the exact text from the craigslist listing…

Are you ready to Rumble? On Sunday February 25, 2007 the NPF will be hosting a fund raising event at the Gainey Ranch Golf Club, located at 7600 Gainey Club Dr. in Scottsdale.
We are pleased to announce that three members of the World Renown Gracie family will be joining us to teach a Jiu-Jitsu Seminar. In addition to the seminars we will be offering a silent auction and raffle which will give you an opportunity to win autographed Gracie merchandise.
Rolles Gracie and his two brothers Igor and Gregor, sons of Rolls Gracie, who is considered the most technical Jiu-Jitsu fighter of all time will be teaching both basic and advanced techniques along with self defense for women that have maintained the Gracie dynasty as undefeated for 75 years in no rules fighting. In the grappling arena, Rolles Gracie is world renown for his amazing combative abilities and enriching teaching techniques and is the winner of many National and International titles in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
This is a FREE and educational event for people with Parkinson’s. Tai-Chi instructors will be available to people with Parkinson’s to demonstrate how to incorporate Tai-Chi and deep breathing techniques into a daily exercise routine to achieve positive well being and a better quality of life that will enable better balance, flexibility and stability which has been proven through research.
