No Gi Thursday!

 Yesterday was like a cold Autumn day, hard to believe the day before we were basking in 24+C weather...that said, the mats were on fire at Northern Monkey HQ last night with two killer classes in the evening.

Lots of fun, hard work and sweat as always :)

Gi classes at Northern Monkey HQ!

 It was great see the numbers finally back up into double figures across both Gi classes last night; the beginners class was very busy with a handful of new starters and the advanced class was back up to speed too.

Let's see more of this!

Demian Maia training camp @ London Fight Factory!

 Had a brilliant time as always at London Fight Factory at the weekend, with a two day training camp with none other than UFC legend Demian Maia.



Friday night was a Gi class and Saturday afternoon was a No Gi class and on the Saturday we also had the pleasure of having 8x world champion Michelle Nicolini on the mats as well.



Massive thanks to Luiz Ribeiro for organising the training camp and getting Demian back to London, can't wait for the next one!

Beginners class last night


 Killer Gi session last night at Wimbledon BJJ, went through mobility and solo drills and showed the monkeys the efficacy of the fabled Gable grip and how it can be applied in a self defence situation as well as in our sport Jiu Jitsu classes :)

Always learning!

No Gi Tuesday

 A quiet one last night at Northern Monkey HQ, but still lots of fun teaching the young guns some moves and watching them go over techniques they've been looking at online :)
