Jeff Curran and Pedro Sauer Promote 3 Black Belts
March 27,2010


 
On Saturday, March 27, 3 more top quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students were promoted to Black Belt within the Pedro Sauer Jiu-Jitsu Association.  Jeff Curran, known for his high level Jiu-Jitsu in tournaments and MMA on the world stage, has trickled down to 3 of his longest running students.  Bart Palaszewski (WEC LW Contender), Russ Janca and John Janca, have been training under Curran and Pedro Sauer for more than a decade.  "I am so proud of all these guys for standing the test of time with me" Jeff said.  All 3 of these guys teach at Curran Martial Arts alongside of Jeff Curran and 1st Degree Black Belt, Adam Miller.  Now staffed with 5 high level black belts, Team Curran looks to gain more momentum moving forward in 2010.  Jeff continued to say "Professor Sauer and I have been together since I was 18 years old.  He has got to see guys like Bart grow up since the age of 15 and Russ since the age of 10, nearly 12 years ago."

The Belt Ceremony opened Master Sauer's seminar at Curran Martial Arts in Crystal Lake, IL on Saturday.  With over 50 participants attending the seminar, they were also shared with a whole group of Black Belts.  Black Belts in attendance were Pedro Sauer, Jeff Curran, Matt Strack, Adam Miller, Henry Matamoros, Dr. Tim Westlake, Bart Palaszewski, Russ Janca and John Janca.
