Team Caique Martinsville

On May 13th, 2006 the school at which I have been teaching BJJ for nearly a year will become an official Team Caique Training Associaion.

This means alot to me. I have been a student of BJJ since '98 and have been teaching it to others since '03. One of my goals has been to have my own school, to build it from the ground up. This dream is being fulfilled.

I have a strong group of students who love the game and who are developing very well. Caique was proud of the turnout at the last seminar, and without hesitation gave me the go ahead to form the association.

My goals for Team Caique Martinsville are:

  1. Build a group of strong, fundmental BJJ practitioners. Students with a strong base in the fundamentals.
  2. Next I want to continue to compete each year, increasing in the quality of the competitions I enter. For example, this year will be regional competitions again, but next year I want to add the Pan Ams and the year after that the Mundials.
  3. I want to continue to progress through the rankings in a steady but legitmate manner. Of course the goal is Black Belt, but that is just the beginning of a whole new journey.
