After a lot of research, Robot decided to join Lotus Club BJJ, headed in CA by Giva Santana.  Lotus Club has been a powerhouse in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for many years.  Based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Lotus has a strong presence in Southern California under the leadership of the famed Giva Santana.  Among Giva’s many accomplishments as a Jiu Jitsu and MMA fighter, he won the Pan American Championships at black belt in 1999 and 2005.  Furthermore, he has beaten the likes of Damian Maia and other Jiu Jitsu greats in various BJJ tournaments.

Giva will begin teaching an advanced BJJ class on every other Sunday beginning soon (most likely March 7th).  Stay tuned for the actual schedule.
