ADULT SEMINARSRoll With Carlos Machado
|
Carlos MachadoCarlos Machado is one of the pioneers of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the United States of America. Currently a Coral Belt, and promoted to Black Belt by Carlos Gracie Junior, Carlos Machado came to the USA in the early 1990’s with his brothers where they formed the RCJ Machado Jiu Jitsu Association, one of the strongest & growing BJJ organizations in the world today. Carlos Machado was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He is the eldest of the Machado brothers: Carlos, Roger, Rigan, Jean Jacques and John Machado. The legendary Gracie family fighting tradition was engraved in the Machado Brothers from a very early age. Carlos Machado was no different from the rest of the Gracie's (his cousins), with whom he grew up, trained, and learned. In 1988 Carlos’s brother Rigan Machado moved to the United States to start teaching BJJ with the Gracie's out of their now legendary "Gracie Garage". Two years later, Carlos and John Machado joined Rigan in Southern California where he helped the Gracie family establish their academy. After all 5 Machado brothers arrived in the USA they decided that it was best for them to part ways from the Gracie Jiu Jitsu banner to build their own legacy. The Machado's moved from Torrance, CA to nearby Redondo Beach. They started teaching private lessons out of their own garage when a very special future student walked through their door, Hollywood and Martial Arts Legend, Mr. Chuck Norris. In 1995, Carlos Machado had the amazing opportunity of filming Walker Texas Ranger with Chuck Norris in Dallas, Texas. Chuck invited Carlos to relocate with him and Carlos decided that it was time to spread Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to Texas and surrounding middle American areas. Carlos Machado appeared in dozens of episodes of the Walker, Texas Ranger series during that period, portraying several different characters and usually getting beat up by his own pupil. Carlos Machado is an award-winning Jiu-Jitsu instructor, having been inducted into the Hall of Fame multiple times. He is known in Texas and the Southwest region as the “Godfather of Jiu-Jitsu.” Before Carlos Machado relocated to the Dallas Fort Worth area, nobody was teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Today most of the BJJ lineage in the Southwest can be traced back to Carlos Machado. Jeff SmithJeff Smith is one of the, if not THE MOST, multi-talented martial artists of all time. Champion, Innovator, Manager, Teacher, Coach, Mentor, Leader…and the list goes on. On June 17, 2016, Jeff Smith was awarded the rank of Grand Master by the Professional Karate Commission with his 10th Degree Black Belt by Grand Masters Glenn Keeney and Allen Steen. This came along with the additional signatures and approval of Pat Johnson and J Pat Burleson. As one of the most popular and highly respected martial artists in the world, Grand Master Jeff Smith has influenced millions of Martial Artists around the world, both directly and indirectly. Voted by his Top Ten peers as the Number One Point Fighter in the Nation in 1974 by Professional Karate Magazine, Jeff went on immediately to win the very first PKA World Light Heavyweight Kickboxing Championship title on ABC’s Wide World of Entertainment. All the while he was training the next generation of Inter-national Champions, coaching them to World Titles, as he managed and taught the instructional staff of the Jhoon Rhee Institute schools in Washington DC. As articulate as he is dangerous, Grand Master Smith has appeared before the camera as a multi-talented point fighter and PKA World Champion Kickboxer and as an expert analyst for the next generations. His titles and accomplishments are far too many to list here. |

Street vs Tournament with Rick Prieto
|
RICK PRIETO - Black Belt #42I Started Karate with the Chuck Norris Studios in Nov. 1968 in Sherman Oaks, CA, and got my 1st Degree Black Belt in February 1972. I started assisting a little in class within the first 6 months because my 40-50 hrs. of training per month gave me the knowledge to help new students. I’ve been assisting or teaching ever since. I became Head Instructor at the Granada Hills, CA, studio. Soon after Aaron Norris came in as Program Director to manage the office, he and I lived together on and off for about 8 years. Aaron Norris and I went to Virginia in 1974 to start and run the Chuck Norris Studio in Norfolk. I ended up staying for 7 years. After about two years, we started a second studio in Virginia Beach We brought in Mr. Ed Saenz and Mr. Raul Hernandez to help. As a result, Mr. John Kurek, Mr. Robert Sapp, and Mr. Roy White, who were our students, became some of our most amazing students and instructors.
I’ve done several films with Mr. Norris and some Walker Texas Ranger shows, along with several demonstrations including the opening for Bruce Lee’s ‘Enter The Dragon’ at the Grauman’s Chinese theater in Hollywood. I got my first 2 trophies at Mr. Norris’ 4 Seasons Tournament from Bruce Lee. Mr. Norris, Mr. Bob Wall, Mr. Mike Stone, and Bruce Lee put on the tournament. I eventually went back to CA. and started my own studios, one in Tarzana and one in Studio City. While in CA. While in California, Mr. Norris and I spent years working out at least three hours a day, every day except on Sundays. So we have quite the history together.” I continued working on films in California. Then Mr. Norris asked me to help with the “Kick Drugs Out Of America” program (now called “Kickstart”) in Houston.” So after about 7 years in California, I moved to Texas, where I kicked off the Kick Drugs Out Of America program. I ran it for three and a half years before Mr. Saenz took over. I started a karate school in 1990 in the Woodlands, TX. I still live and teach there today. I started with BJJ in 1988-89 and incorporated it into my classes ever since. Now I also teach Krav Maga after earning my UFAF Krav Maga Black Belt in Dec. 2017.
After 50+ years I still love what I do and am learning all the time. |
THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE STREET VS TOURNAMENTThis youth seminar will cover two very different ways to get the advantage for a street confrontation and in a tournament fight. In a tournament, you agree to battle it out with another fighter. There are rules that you must follow, certain areas of the body that you can score on, a time limit, referees, and so on. You must have a strategy and know what techniques will work best to give you an advantage. In the street, (school, park, or wherever), if you are confronted with a battle and you can’t get away or talk your way out, you must have a different strategy. In a tournament, you fight someone who is your same belt level and age. In the street you don’t get to chose your opponent ... bigger, smaller, older, younger, prettier, uglier ... IT IS NOT A TOURNAMENT FIGHT. This seminar will help you learn how to have a better chance to survive. Many different fighting techniques can be used in the street but not used in a tournament, so you must be prepared for whatever happens. Mr. Prieto was one of Mr. Chuck Norris’ training partners, three and a half hours a day, six days a week, for many years, and was the fight coordinator for many of his films. |
