Checkmat BJJ leader Leo Vieira talks Worlds 2013

Leo Vieira is an accomplished competitor with World BJJ and ADCC titles along with many other international titles. The once brilliant and impulsive competitor, that would forgo points for action even to the detriment of his personal results, matured into a great strategist and that change led to even more titles. For a few years now Leo has doubled up as the leader of Checkmat team. A team that a few years ago was challenging for the top and then suffered a setback. Now the resurgent Checkmat with its leader at the helm and up close is ready to make its move and be a top force. Here is what Leo has to say about the Worlds 2013

Word from Mike Fowler

From Mike Fowler

When Tracey and I came to Hawaii in 2010, our plan was to open a gym and start a life here. Things from the beginning were great. We took on the non profit kids club at first at a local recreation center. The only times available at the center were the kids class times, so we had to look elsewhere for the adults. We live on the countryside so there isn't many commercial buildings. Everything is residential. A local house with a gym was available to hold classes at and the non profit was extended to cover adults as well and a service was brought to a community that it had been without for so long. The good fortune was short, and because of the landlords drug addiction, we lost the gym. Or it was lost for us. Since we started working the non profit we have had a great response from the community, but the local recreation center where we taught the kids classes would only allow one class per week for the adults.

We recently lost our no-profit status, to no fault of our own,. Since 2011 we have struggled to find a gym to serve the area where we live, and it is finally coming true. I wasn't sure about even writing this letter, but I need your help! To keep up with the cost of starting a new non profit, insurance, rent, mats. Whether a donation to the club by monetary means or equipment new/used. Anything to help us reinstate the kids class get us up on our own feet. We only have one month to prepare and the current tenants won't move out until the day before we move in, so if any questions, message me here or email Northshorebjj@gmail.com

Please share!

Thanks for your time
