Cobrinha at London Fight Factory!

What a way to kick start the new year!

Massive thanks to Luiz for arranging a seminar with Cobrinha at the weekend, who gave a masterclass in guard passing; back when I was a purple belt, I had the privilige of picking up Cobrinha from Manchester Airport and looked after him for  the day, as he was over for a seminar tour arranged by Ed Brown.

It was really nice to hook up again and we had a good chat before and after the seminar and now follow each other on social media, something I think is really awesome. Guys like Cobrinha are BJJ royalty, the top guys in the sport and yet still take time to keep in touch with the the average BJJ guys online.  Great stuff!

 

First class of the year!

Had a great first session of the year last night at Checkmat Wimbledon and a great turn out too, considering students are still out of the country visiting families and some poor souls were stuck in work last night.

The session was Open Mat style and was a great way to ease everyone back into the training groove; with a seventies disco mix and funky disco house mix blasting from the speakers, the time flew by and all that was left was the group photo and some nifty 360 degree videos of people sparring and a group photo to finish off an awesome session.  I was also proud to be repping the slick new BAIN rashguard too, which admirably handled the rolls during the night.

Next class tomorrow night, expect more of the same!
