Mike Garza and Crosley Gracie

After two plus years of dedication and hard work, Mike Garza was bestowed upon him the rank of Blue Belt. At our most recent seminar, Crosley and Jeff promoted Mike in front of many of his training partners and friends. Mike has stayed the course despite a few injuries that kept him off the mat for a few weeks here and there. Congratulations Mike! All of us at Synergy are very proud of your accomplishment. We all wish you continued good health and success on your journey.

“Teaching the United States Army Jiu-Jitsu techniques was amazing!” -Jeff Correia

This past weekend, Jeff Correia, our owner and head instructor was invited to teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at our local BT Collins Army Reserve Center. There were over thirty participants, most of them being drill sergeants. Jeff was charged with sharpening their ground skills. These men and women were serious about getting better because they kept Jeff there for nearly 4 hours! I don’t think he had a choice. Way to go Jeff!

This past Saturday eleven of our kids made the two plus hour drive to Crosley’s academy to show their skills. And it was a sight to see! Each of our kids had at least one victory and got to experience what it’s like to get their arm raised. We were very proud of their courage, skill, and determination. It’s not easy to compete and we certainly don’t push competing, but to test yourself in unfamiliar surroundings is a way to forge confidence. There is never any losing at these tournaments; you either win or you learn. Our kids won and they learned!

Our students and our parents of our students spoke up and voted Synergy Martial Arts the best Martial Arts school in the Rocklin Area. Synergy is made up of our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program as well as our kids Kenpo Karate program. Come check us out and see why we are the Best of the Best!
