Kid Peligro Seminar a Great Experience!
On May 8, 2011 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and famous author Gerry Costa “Kid Peligro” conducted a great seminar at the Gracie Technics Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Honolulu, Hawaii. Kid delivered an excellent seminar that was a perfect blend of Jiu-Jitsu technique, theory and philosophy. Kid’s emphasis on fundamental movements and their application to all areas of Jiu-Jitsu was a real treat for all in attendance.
There were many Black belts from the island in attendance, including Jeff “JD” Doner from Sunset Beach BJJ, Shane Agena from O2 Martial Arts and Todd Tanaka from Relson Gracie Team HK.
Special Thanks to all who attended, especially Kid for putting out a great seminar! Check out Kid’s Jiu-Jitsu Blog at www.KidPeligro.com
