<div class=info>This is not a joke, folks. For years people have been saying this day would come and now it's here. The email pasted below is from a marketing campaign for a program to allow neighborhood McDojos to cash in on the grappling craze by teaching Brazillian Jiujitsu with barely any verification of an instructor's ability.
One of the main things that seperates "BJJ" from many other arts is the fact that the black belt instructors have only been granted their rank after proving their skills in competitions, tournaments, and full contact sparring. This program is a 180 degree shift from the thing that's made BJJ a respected combat art and must be a slap in the face to anyone who required their students to actually become proficient at the art before teaching it to others.
This is just disgusting. Shame on you, Jerry Laurita.

"I just got this from Jerry Laurita over at the IBJJA, and figured that our subscribers would benefit from hearing about this program. I've had the DVDs for over a week now, and I have to say that Jerry has put together one of the most structured and logical grappling curriculums I have ever seen on video. I'd suggest that you call Jerry up if you're not currently offering a BJJ program and you'd like to add 50-100 adult students in your studio.

School Owners:
"Would you like to offer a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program at your school?"
And, do you want to add 50-100 new adult students to your school?
How about earning your Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Now Is Your Chance!
Ever since the first UFC, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has proven itself as the premier grappling art and an essential part of an effective self-defense program.
Now you can offer a comprehensive, turn-key BJJ program in your school when you join the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Association.
Why Offer A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Program At Your School?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a great martial art for attracting adult male students between the ages of 18-50 years old. Every week I have a prospective student come in and say they want to learn to be like that "Gracie Guy". This market wants to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Now you can fill that need, make more money, expand your knowledge and earn your Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
But I've Never Done Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
That's O.K., our systematic turn-key program is designed for school owners like yourself with little or no experience to learn and teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at your school. Our program is so easy, you can start teaching it within 1 week. Now, I am not saying you will be awesome at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu within 1 week, but you will be able to teach your first class with confidence.
How Do I Learn And Get Certified?
You will learn from the video and practice the techniques everyday with a partner. Also, we are available for private lessons and seminars to help speed up your learning process. In order to earn rank, you need to meet the minimum requirements and pass each belt test set forth by the IBJJA.
