This class is going to focus on woman and the toning and training that benefits them most , you will train like a boxer , without actually boxing .

Great fun has been had by all . We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Sean Spruch , Nolan Mathews and Donovin Souvaris on receiving their Blue Belts from Roberto . We are proud of the quality of the new blood coming through .

Furthermore, a huge congratulations to Quantum Tribes Fight team  ” Men of War ” for winning all four of their MMA matches at Donderdag 4. This solidifies them as one of the best Fight teams around and they maintain an unbeaten record for 2009  . More exciting MMA action to come . The amazing footage of these fights will be posted and launched with the new  “Men of  War ” website (currently under construction).

We  eagerly anticipate seeing you all at the aforementioned Quantum Tribe Cup . Please note that the entry closing date will be Wednesday the 12th of August . The competition itself will be Sunday the 16th August . The entry form and details are now available on www.quantumtribe.co.za/cup . Get your entry forms in soon to help make the tournament a huge success.We look forward to seeing all of you there !

To assist with the tournament we will be having a “Competitors strategy workshop” the day before at Quantum Tribe- Saturday 15th August at 11h00 . This  seminar  will assist you in competing  on all levels: from understanding the rules, to tactical and mental advice from an incredibly decorated competitor -Roberto Atalla . The seminar will be R200 if you are registered and have paid for the competition and R300 if not . I highly suggest this workshop, to not only those competing the next day, but to all athletes that do or will compete in grappling.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Phenom Roberto Atalla is back in South Africa.

We are very proud to be part of the Rio Grappling International Group as they have kept the highest standards in all aspects of the Jiu Jitsu sporting world . We are even more proud to host our head Coach Roberto Atalla once more in South Africa . Last time he blew us away with both his (No Gi and Gi  ) seminars in Johannesburg and I heard similar reports from other parts of the country .

I am so excited to not only learn more from my coach but I believe he is one of the greatest instructors in the world who truly have the spreading of the beautiful art of Jiu Jitsu as his number one priority. I hope that those people that support our passion for both forms of grappling will get involved and experience the brotherhood that is growing in the South African grappling community. I am so looking forward to the Quantum Tribe Cup competition- see details below. I hope that every style of  grappling will take this opportunity to come out and have a great day mixing styles in the gentle art.

Please contact me if you are interested in getting more involved or hosting a seminar during his four week vistit .

See you on the frontline of this extreme fitness arena. The battlefield awaits!

Submission Wrestling ( No Gi )

Although we are already revered country – wide for our grappling skills this class is designed to focus more on the clench aspect of submission wrestling. We have only incorporated aspects of Greco, Sambo and Jui Jitsu clench and take-downs that are effective in the MMA arena and grappling circuits.

We also delve deeply into leg and ankle locks which tend to take a backseat in our BJJ classes. Leg locks are initially discouraged in BJJ to allow for the mastering of guard passes first. This class will further hone your skills by including leg attacks into your scope of understanding.

Note from Management :

Please check the schedule for details of these classes .

Please also note that BJJ classes are taught four nights a week which presents you with the opportunity to fine tune and perfect your skills just prior to the arrival of world acclaimed Rio Grappling master Roberto Atalla on 14th July.  Details to follow.

You can come into this class with no worries of injuries or being out of your depth – this class is for anyone that wants to step up their MMA knowledge, but isnt ready to take it to a sparring level.

Classes will be taken by Nathan, Walter, Jeremy, Wade etc..

Contact Nathan for more info!

Robinho aka Robinson, one of our head coaches friends will be coming down for a few weeks to train with us. Robinho will be on the mat every night training and this will be an amazing opportunity to train with a top level BJJ Black Belt.
