One week after over 30 seventh graders visited and trained at Valente Brothers, the eight grade class rolled in for a special self-defense class at our main school in North Miami Beach. The class, designed to introduce Jiu-Jitsu to Cushman's teachers and students, covered a variety of standing and ground grappling techniques. All young students were very happy with the opportunity to learn a few Jiu-Jitsu tricks before moving on to high school next year. On a special note, VB students and brothers, Josh and Will Herbert, attended the class and assisted their Cushman peers during the session.
