Team Magic BJJ had an excellent showing at the recent Michigan Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu championships on January 28th, scoring 5x gold, 3x silver, and 1x bronze medals. Additionally, we ended up taking home the third place team trophy. Its great to see everyone’s hard work that they have been putting in the dojo pay off in competition.
New Year, New Dojo Improvements!

First off I would like to wish everyone a happy new year. As we move closer to Magic BJJ’s second anniversary of business, I wanted to take a moment to list a few changes coming in 2012.
First and foremost, we have invested in brand new Zebra grappling mats for the entire dojo. Those who don’t know, these are the same mats that are used any many professional tournaments such as the Pans and Worlds. They are a major upgrade from our existing puzzle mats that have served us well for over two years.
Mats arrive:
After!
The older GetRung mats are still in good shape and are being sold in 10’ x 10’ packages (9 squares plus edging). If you are interested please contact us via Facebook or e-mail mlinsemier@magicbjj.com.
Secondly, changes have been made to several of the kids and adult Karate and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu packages. The payment schedule will move to either the 1st or the 15th of the month as we move to more of an automated withdrawal system. This should make it easier for both the student as well as the dojo.
The new 2012 packages and pricing are now available so make sure you see the staff on your next visit. As a reminder there are always discounts for both students and part time / full time instructors. We have some great new student packages so for those that are considering the Magic BJJ as your place to train, please inquire!
Lastly, starting the week of January 23rd, all classes will be Gi in preparation for the IBJJF Winter Open in Chicago on March 3rd, 2012. Monday night No-Gi classes will become competition classes that will include warmups and an minimum of an hour of tournament speed sparing.
See you in class!

EFG December 4th Results
12/08/11 15:07
This past Sunday we had a few students compete at the Elite Federation of Grapplers tournament in Clinton township.
Javier scored silver medal in gi blue belt division and bronze medal in no-gi intermediate division. Ben, competing for the first time after only a little over 3 months of training, took silver in gi white belt division, and gold in no-gi beginner division.
Both Javier and Ben performed great and have areas in mind of what to work on next. Great job guys.
