Self Defense seminar at North Arlington High School

2nd degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt Professor Chris Savarese held a free self defense at North Arlington High School last night. Over 30 students, teachers and parents took the course. It was part of Savarese’s personal mission to give back to the local communities surrounding his Lyndhurst NJ BJJ Academy. Savarese posted on his Facebook page “Had the honor tonight of teaching a self defense seminar at North Arlington High School tonight. Got a lot of positive feedback and the girls picked up things very quickly. Look forward to coming back real soon. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has given me so much in my life. I want to pay it forward and help as many people as I possibly can. I want to thank everyone who came out and attended and to my assistants, Sean Bermudez (one of my blackbelts) and Leo Alves, one of my best teenage students who actually attends that high school. Teaching self defense is very rewarding to me and teaching awareness of danger, especially to the teens, is something I know helped judging by the looks on their faces and questions asked. I hope to do more of these in the future.” If you would like to schedule a seminar, please contact the Academy.
