MAGIC BJJ at the Master Rigan Machado Seminar



A few of us attended the Master Rigan Machado seminar at Trammell’s Martial Arts in Macomb, MI, over this past weekend. What an amazing experience it was to meet and train with the man himself, the man and Machado name we represent every time we’re on the mat. Thank you Master Rigan for a great day. We all took away not only techniques, but your unique teaching style. Until we meet again!

Happy New Year!



Happy new year from MAGIC BJJ! All of our classes are back to their normal schedules starting this week other than Kid’s Karate (which will start back up on Thursday, January 13th, 2011).

I have compiled a “year in photos” album of MAGIC BJJ which can viewed here. I am still missing photos from the 2010 Michigan Open, so if you have these or any additional photos that we can add to the archive, please get with me or e-mail them to mlinsemier@magicbjj.com.

See you in class!
