Bolton Open SW Championships - March 8th, 2008
+with+winner.jpg)
Got sent this report from my mate Chris Heath of AAC and FORMA UK.......
Catch Wrestling for the Next Generation
Clubs from across the North west of England and North Wales gathered at the Academy of Applied Combat on Saturday the 8th March 2008, to compete for the Bolton Open Catch Wrestling Competition.
The event, jointly run with the Federation of Russian Martial Arts and Trevor Robert’s AAC, is part of a series of competitions and seminars aimed at restoring the style and techniques of Lancashire Catch Wrestling.
All of the bouts were fiercely fought by wrestlers from a variety of styles and back-grounds, but it was Bolton’s finest taking gold in all the weight categories, placing the AAC as the winning club.
Gray Mayanika took Gold in the Under 75Kg division, with Steve Wiggans doing the same for the Under 87Kg, middleweight category and Gareth Corran, the AAC heavy-weight grappler, obtaining Gold following a knockout of one of his opponents in the Over 97Kg division.
All the wrestlers competing trained and worked hard to achieve the grap-pling standard shown on the day.
Gold medalists, Gareth Corran and Steve Wiggans are pictured along with Trevor Roberts, owner of the AAC and Head Coach. The next Submission Wrestling Competition will be held at the Spa Road Gym on Saturday the 27th of September.
If you would like to know more about the event or any of the classes at the AAC then contact 01204 380727/380725 or visit the websitewww.academyofappliedcombat.com. Anyone wishing to know more about the work of the Federation of Russian Martial Arts UK should visit the www.formauk.net for contact information.

Eddie Kone session today!
An extremely big shout out to Eddie Kone, who made the trip up North today to take a guest session at the club, taking us through some of the jiu jitsu Eddie teaches day in, day out at his club in East London. Needless to say, I trust you all had as much fun as I did and learned some really slick moves, some of which have only been developed over the last few weeks, from the likes of Xande Ribeiro and Royler Gracie!
Also big shout out to Ian Butlin, who took time out of a busy fight preparation routine to call in with brother Andy and UFC veteran Ian Freeman, who is also preparing for his next fight, where he faces Paul Cahoon in Cage Rage 26 in May.
Eddie is one of the most technical guys around and I'm sure this afternoon proved that to you guys and I look forward in bringing Eddie back again in the not too distant future.
A few pix for now - usual report and galleries at OTM and Lockflow!
Also had the pleasure of hosting my first ever interview by candlelight with Eddie at La Tasca tapas bar after the session!!!

Chris Haueter @ Combat Base Pontefract!!
Arranged on 24 hrs notice, Darren managed to get Chris to take his no gi class last night; Chris is in the UK on a flying visit after touring South Africa and is in Scotland at the weekend cornering one of his guys in an MMA event. A good turn out considering the short notice and well received, covering work from the clinch and from a takedown attack, ending up with a fifteen minute roll with Chris - a walk in the park!! (For Chris!).
Report and pix at the usual places!

Caption competition!
OK folks, to kick start your week off, here's a little caption competition, the funniest one will win a copy of Roy Dean's latest DVD release - BJJ Seminars: Year One, still wrapped up nice and brand new from Roy himself. Take a look at the photo and come up with something amusing, it's that easy - what words of wisdom is the Burger King Assassin passing on to his fellow student???
