Each class saw a bunch of our most dedicated students. From the early morning, to the afternoon, to the kids class, to the fundamental class and the advanced no gi - we had a great day at the academy. Spread the word! Here's a pic from our hardest working students! And a big shout out to all the brothers who cheer for their siblings - way to go!

Every Tuesday and Thursday from 12:30 - 1:30 RGA Stamford will have an Advanced No Gi / Advanced MMA class. This class is designed for professional fighters, as well as amateur fighters who wish to become professional. There is an additional charge for this class. Be sure to speak with Daniel about this class if you are interested!

It was a rainy, thunderstorm-y kind of day. But that didn't keep our kids class students home. The class saw Austin, Hunter and Bayler, Adu and Jaggar learning chokes and submissions. Daniel was being tapped by Adu time and time again. We had not one, but two guest Instructors at todays class. Chris A. (Jaggar's dad) was nice enough to help out and roll with the kids. And Steve (Austin's dad) stepped in to show a choke. Thanks everybody! Also, a special get well to Jaxon. See you in class next week. And we want to say hi to Chandar and Amari (see you both on Wednesday)!

Today is a very Happy day at Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy of Stamford. It's Daniel's Birthday!

Today is the Renzo Gracie Invitational. Good Luck to all of the competitors, especially those from Renzo Gracie Academy Stamford - Nate Spilka, Nick Coletti, Christopher Cafagna, Joseph Collura, Kenny Murray, Daniel Salvador. Here is a list of all of the competitors. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu!!!!!

Well, the kids proved to be tough competitors for Daniel. "I'm sweating more than when I roll with the guys!", said Daniel. Today's class saw Hunter and Bayler, Jaxon and Jagger, Chandar, Austin Lee, Amari, Luke and Jack, with Kali, Kaira and Joshua rounding out the little ones - this class was TOTALLY GREAT! We had a lot of fun and learned a few nice positions. See everybody on the mats Monday!

It was another great training. The afternoon class saw a student of Daniel's from Costa Rica, two students from RGA Stamford and two students from Mark Cerrone's academy. Jessie, Terin and Steve were getting ready for the Renzo Gracie Invitational. Sean was rolling tough. Arturo was improving his game. Great to see everyone on the mats!

Check out the pics from today's kids class. Chandar, Jaggar, Jackson, Bayler and Hunter - terrific Jiu-Jitsu today. Great training. Everybody trained hard and we all had fun...

Thanks to Mark Cerrone of Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in West Haven for coming to today's 12:30 class with three of his students. The training was great as we drilled positions in preparation for the Renzo Gracie Invitational this Saturday at Hunter College. Good Luck to everybody!

You asked for the schedule, we made it happen. The morning classes, taught by Daniel and Gino, are now for all Belts. Come every morning at 7:30 to train.

It was a full day at RGA Stamford. The class schedule has begun and the classes were all packed today. Even the kids class!

A very Happy Father's Day to everybody. The weather was great (except for that little storm) and what made the day even better was Brasil's Win over Cote D'Ivoire today. See you on the mats tomorrow. Remember, the new schedule begins at 7:30am!

Many thanks to Gino. We passed out flyers to a bunch of folks along Bedford Street. We met with the security for the Jerry Springer show. Already have something cool lined up (we hope) in regards to guest security... more details as the plan develops. Also met lots of officers on the Stamford Police force, thanks to all of you. Looking forward to seeing everybody on the mats.

A few of us will be meeting at the Academy at 5pm today. We'll be distributing flyers at the Bedford Street Fair. Join us for an hour or so if you can.

After seeing the headline, Daniel Gracie has begun his MMA training in full force. Preparing for a possible Fall debut of MMA in New York City, "I'm ready to get into the cage and do what I do best."

Look for more classes taught by Daniel Gracie, our kids program and Saturday classes! Schedule is up now!

Renzo Gracie tells his students, "Through endurance, we shall conquer". These are words to live by. At Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Stamford, we have made these words our own. We believe that there is no insurmountable object. Train hard everyday and reap the rewards. In that respect, check out our new expanded schedule...
