this guy has taught me a lot over the years and is a great guy!check out his most recent tourney stuff on you tube, he only fights at top of the jj food-chain!!!
Also, Tussa will be available for private lessons (gi or no-gi) the entire week leading up to the seminar, August 1st-7th. Tussa is offering privates at a great price for students from any of the Northeast BJJ Association schools: $100 an hour for individuals or $50 per person for groups (up to 4 people). There is also an additional discount if you take multiple privates.
Private lessons are a great option if you want to work on something specific, or if you cannot make the Saturday seminar, but would like to support the visiting instructor.
If you want more details or are interested in scheduling a private, email info@northeastbjj.com.
Don't forget that the discounted early registration for the Tussa Seminar ends this Sunday.
We have added an additional seminar discount: All Association members that register for the Tussa seminar during the early registration period will get to compete for free at the in-house tournament on Sept. 12 ($25 value). With this additional discount, Association members are essentially getting a 3 hour seminar with one of the top black belt competitors in the world for only $15!
Also, there are still some times available for private lessons with Tussa during next week, please email info@northeastbjj.comif you would like to reserve a time for an individual or group private lesson.
Please help us support Tussa while he is visiting and training with us - your support will allow us to continue to bring world class instructors, athletes and competitors to our Association schools.

I will also extend the free tournament discount for Association members.
