No Gi & Wrestling Tuesday!!

 Two killer classes night, three black belts on the mats for the No Gi class and an absolutely awesome Wrestling session with Claudiu...everything Claudiu has been teaching the last few months, hand fighting, level change, shooting and sprawling, was put into practice and tested under pressure.

All rounds were three minutes with thirty seconds rest and started off with positional rounds and ended with Wrestling meets BJJ, where we wrestled to the ground and looked for the submission, not for the faint hearted!

The intensity of the rounds are a far cry from Jiu Jitsu rounds, where you can pull guard and take a breather for example...in the Wrestling rounds there are no breathers, the only time you stop is when you've pinned your opponent, or the referee tells you to stop.

Everything we've trained the last few months was pressure tested and the sweat was pouring out of everyone, myself included, they say Wrestling is a young man's sport, but there's still the odd old timer like me hanging in there.

As Claudiu said last night, an old shark is still a shark :)

A fantastic night all round, the students really pushed themselves to their limits and beyond and now their limits are a little further way, so can be pushed further every time we run these classes; the gas tanks have increased considerably and will help those who wish to compete throughout the rest of the year.

Well done to all the students!
