Renzo Gracie (Pictures) Association celebrates opening of their first academy in Broward County.

Weston, Fl. Early December 2007 The first Renzo Gracie (Pictures) Jiu Jitsu Academy in Florida will be opening up in Weston in early December 2007. It is located about 15 minutes outside of Fort Lauderdale. It will be geared towards training adults and kids how to defend themselves, develop self confidence and discipline. There will be classes for all levels of adults and kids as well as separate classes for women who would prefer to train in a women's only class. There will be day and night classes during the week as well as Saturday morning classes.

The academy is brand new and almost 3000 sq/ft with a large mated area, men's and women's locker rooms, a retail store, as well as space for doing functional strength training and cardio exercise. A lounge which will be used for watching technique videos as well as a place to get together on nights when there is a MMA event on pay per view television.

Stan Beck, the Director of Operations stated "people are really excited about this academy opening up. Our mission is to create a space where they can spend their limited amount of personal time in a place where they will feel part of a community and at the same time learn how to defend themselves as well as get in great shape".

Today, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has proven to be the most effective form of unarmed combat available. The Gracie family have proven this in today's Mixed Martial Art events and open challenge matches. For more information contact stanbeck@renzogracieflorida.com
