About Me

Grand Opening is a Huge Success!!!This past Saturday, March 1st, marked a new beginning for Lovato's School of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We celebrated our new home in a beautiful facility with great training and fellowship. The seminar with Xande Ribeiro was excellent and was the largest seminar ever held at Lovato's with 60 participants. We would like to thank all the visitors who came in from out of town to be there and a big thanks to Xande Ribeiro and Gumby, from www.onthemat.com, for their support.Also, the day started with a few promotions. Congratulations to Shiloh Roberts on his blue belt, and to Paul Coffey & Antonio Munoz for their purple belts. Keep up the great work.Stay tuned for a complete article about the grand opening at www.onthemat.com.
