Legendary instructor and 3rd degree black belt with Gracie Barra, Helio “Soneca” Moriera, will be conducting a 3 hour No-Gi workshop on Saturday, May 17, 2003, at the East Tennessee State University Memorial Gym in Johnson City, TN. The seminar will begin at 1:00PM. Pre-registration is just $50.00 before May 3, and $65.00 after.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn from one of the best. Soneca has fought in 52 championships, having earned 48 Gold Medals and 2 Silver Medals.

The following is a partial list of some of his most notable wins:

1995 Pan American Champion
1996 World Champion
1996 Brazil National Champion
1997 Brazil National Champion
1999 International Champion

Soneca’s abilities as an instructor are unsurpassed. He has a unique ability to take a brand new student, and turn them into a skilled Jiu Jitsu practitioner in a short period of time. When interviewed concerning this ability, he humbly responds that his ability is due to his instructor, and the quality of the Gracie Barra Academy in Brazil. Soneca has trained such greats as Marcio Feitosa, Jose “Pele” Landi and Vanderlei Silva.
