We are happy to inform you guys that starting on February 1st, SFFC is going to start with our Muay Thai program.
Muay Thai has enjoyed a boost in popularity worldwide as it has been very effective in MMA training and competition. Fighters such as Shogun Rua, Wanderley Silva and Anderson Silva have combined many striking elements of Muay Thai with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu into a Hybrid that has been highly effective in their fights
Prof Luis Nazario and Suzie Montero are going to run the program, that will include classes for kids and adults. until then, students could try out Muay Thai for freeeeee on Sundays at 4pm.
We are finaly done!!!! after 2 weeks of a lot of painting and fixing, The new SFFC training center is finaly open.
SFFC staff and students are very exited with the new facility, with new mats, boxing & weight training area, front desk/waiting area (yes we have a PS3!!!!) and a shower!!!
with a bigger facility, our plans for 2010 are to double the amount of students and to create our BJJ/MMA competition team.
for all the guys that support us and also help us move...... thank you.

Many considerate the match a mix match or that the fight was going to be a walk in the park, But at the end Sofia “BUBU” Amarante, proved that to win in Jiu Jitsu, you don’t need to Carry a famous last name or represent a traditional school. With an impressive win over BJJ Legend Leticia Ribeiro at the Finals, Sofia is now a World Champion!!! sofia's Husband Felipe Amarante came in 3rd place, bringing another medal for SFFC!!!
Sofia’s next step is trying to heal all injuries and getting ready for the Abu Dhabi Pro Trials 2010 in Boca Raton, Fl
“it is definitely going to be a busy year, specially that now I have a big target on my back, and all the girls are going after me, but that what is nice about competitions, I am sure they are trying to study my game, but with the help of my team and master Cyborg I will be ready"
