Super Saturday Session!

 Lots of fun as always at Northern Monkey HQ at the weekend, with another Super Saturday Session in the bag :)

Next session will be April 12th, 2-4pm :)

Thursday classes!

Two killer classes last night at Northern Monkey HQ, starting with the beginners class and an action packed Catch Wrestling class after that :)

Lots of Catch drills and rounds of pin to win before rolling, great fun and a massive cardio booster to boot, only need around a minute of action and everyone's breathing hard :) 

Wednesday Jiu Jitsu at SW19!

 Now the weather is sunnier and warmer, it's great to get out and hit the mats and it was another action packed day yesterday at Northern Monkey HQ :)

The day started with a brilliant session with the L'il Monkeys and a really tough beginners class, dropped in some shark tanks and extended rolling for them, which they all enjoyed and an intimate advanced class, just two on the mats and went over some old school step over arm bars, which finished them both off after thirty minutes drilling :)

Lots of fun for everyone :)

Catch Wrestling 101 - Standing Half Alch Takedown!

 A short video filmed on Tuesday night in the Catch class, showing a standing half alch takedown; if this was a Catch match the man on top would be declared winner via a pin, in Gi and No Gi Jiu Jitsu comps, it's a great takedown that will take the BJJ purist by surprise :)

Plus you've landed in side control, completely avoiding the guard, straight on the attack :)

 Two quiet classes last night, but that didn't stop an epic workout for all, as we just trained specifics and sparring for three hours, a real test of heart and technique for all the monkeys :)

Saturday Session!

 I've managed to get the Saturday Sessions rolling out every two weeks this year and another good turn out at the weekend; there was a heady mix of Gi, No Gi and MMA sparring, plenty of sweat and claret left on the mats :)

More medals added to the Northern Monkey Smoothcomp account, looking forward to the next round of comps for everyone :)

Gi night at SW19!

EPIC medal haul for the Northern Monkey Order!

 It was an awesome day at the office yesterday for the Northern Monkey Order, with monkeys and scoundrels competing yesterday :)

A wise old monkey Craig Lawson competed at the Roll Models event and mixed it up with the young guns and came away with two well earned bronze medals and scoundrels Joe and Jack competed at the UMAC comp and came away with three golds and one silver for their efforts.

The Northern Monkey Order is on the march to world domination :)

Saturday Session!

 Kicked started a new month in fine style with a busy action packed Saturday Session at Northern Monkey HQ :)

There was Gi, No Gi and MMA sparring, lots and lots of rounds and a lot of fun too, which is the most important thing; after class came the most important part of any training regimen, that of post training rehydration and calorie ingestion at the local Spoons, which rounded off a brilliant day :)
