Dave Arnold, Alex Blank, and Marc Yates went up north to compete in the Joslins' Candian Open grappling tournament.  This tournament continues to grow, and had a very large turn-out.  Some of the beginner divisions had 40+ competitors.  All of them represented well with some tough matches.  Alex brought home some hardware, winning his advanced adult middleweight divisions in gi and no-gi!  He also had possibly  the fastest submission of the day, a triangle in 15 seconds.  Awesome job Alex!

A very big congratulations to Alex Blank on his recent promotion to purple belt!  He has been working very diligently towards this goal and it really shows.  Not to mention how much of a beast on the mat he can be :)




What is Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and other answers to frequently asked questions

Welcome to my site! My name is Kyle Saunders and I have been training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu since 1995. I have been teaching Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in Rochester, NY since 1999. I am the most experienced American senior instructor in the Rochester or Western New York area. I am a successful competitor and several of my students have medaled in large submission grappling or BJJ competitions. I don't think you will find better instruction anywhere else in the area. I hope that my site will answer any questions that you may have about me, my school, or Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in general. If not, please do not hesitate to contact me at bjj@pobox.com. Thanks!

- Kyle
