Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling, especially ground fighting, with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using powerful chokeholds and joint locks to force an opponent to submit or be knocked out. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu promotes the principal that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant. Our program will ensure that you receive well-rounded, streetwise self-defense that works while at the same time helping you to develop greater strength and muscular definition through fitness. Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu we will help you to expand the capacity of your heart and lungs through intense cardiovascular conditioning and improve your flexibility in order to protect you from injury through various stretching exercises. By adding a little fun and excitement to each class, we make it easier for you to challenge your mind and body each time you step on the mat. Instructors:

Henry Rzemieniewski (Head Instructor):
Although he began his Martial Arts journey studying Kick Boxing and Hapkido in 2003, it wasn't until he met Professor Josef "Ze Cobra" Manuel in 2005 and started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that he found the art and school that he could call home. Since he began training, Henry has reached the rank of Purple Belt under Professor Josef and the Robson Moura Nations United Association (RMNU) and has competed in local tournaments throughout the years. Hillsborough head instructor Henry Rzemieniewski has also studied Judo, Muay Thai Kicking Boxing and Western Boxing. Professor Josef "Ze Cobra" Manuel

🔥 STOP MISSING THESE 3 DEADLY ARM BARS FROM THE GUARD! 👇 SAVE THIS FOR YOUR NEXT SPARRING SESSION! 🥋💥

If your opponent thinks they’re safe posturing up on their knees inside your guard… think again. 😈

Here are 3 HIGH-PERCENTAGE ARM BAR ATTACKS to make them tap out before they even know what hit ‘em! 🩸⚡️

THE 3 ATTACKS BREAKDOWN 🎯

1️⃣ The Classic Triangle-Trap Sweep & Sn**ch
• Control the wrist, break their posture down, and throw that leg high over the shoulder to trap their posture! Lock it down and hip up for the instant tap! 🔥

2️⃣ The Overhook Control Arm Bar
• When they try to stack or post up, pull them deep with an overhook! Isolate that arm, pivot your hips to 90 degrees, wrap the head, and finish cleanly. 🎯

3️⃣ The Inverted / Spin-Under Armlock From K-Guard
• For when they try to pull back hard—follow their movement, swivel under the hips, extend the arm, and snap the submission into place! ⚡️

Which one of these 3 is your go-to move? Let me know in the comments below! 👇💬

Tired of getting stalled out by a stubborn knee shield? Stop forcing the pass and start setting the trap! 🥷👇

Here’s how to hit the Ninja Choke from Top Half Guard:

1️⃣ Bait the Underhook: When they lock up that knee shield, don’t panic. Leave space and give them the underhook—they think they’re sweeping you, but they’re falling right into the trap.

2️⃣ Wrap the Crown: As soon as they reach, punch your arm deep over the back of their head/neck.

3️⃣ Lock the Grip: Shove your arm all the way through, grab your biceps (chin lock / guillotine style grip), and trap their head tight.

4️⃣ Drive the Weight: Lean forward, drive your hips, drive your weight through their neck, and force the instant tap. 🤫

💬 Drop a “🥷” in the comments if you’re pulling this off in sparring tonight!

“Be the things, you loved most about the people who are gone.”

He was my cousin…

But more than that he was an amazing friend…he was the type of friend that if you said “we need to handle something”, he would be at your door before you even hang up saying “whose car we taking”.

More than that he loved harder than anyone I’ve known. So much, you could see the hurt in him.

More than that, he was one of the funniest people I know. Not because he was good at telling jokes, but because he was goofy as hell, but in a smooth kinda way.

Johanna Sanchez Henry Rzemieniewski told me that when she saw us together, we acted like we were children. Not because we were being immature or childlike, but because we interacted with an innocence free of judgement, that you don’t normally feel outside your immediate family.

More than that, he was a creator. Whether it was music or construction, he could see the vision and create it.

He was my cousin….

And damn, I’m going to miss him.
