A massive well done to my good friend Simon, one of the most dedicated and inspiring BJJ guys out there, on his momentous achievement the other night, receiving his black belt from Wilson Jr! Looking forward to having Simon and Dicke at the club in June more than ever, maybe have two black belts by that time?!!

Ian Butlin MMA session tonight!
Thanks to Ian Butlin for coming to the club tonight and showing us a little bit of his fight game tonight; Ian showed a number of neat little drills, starting from standing, then working a striker's clinch, then a grappler's clinch, before going to the floor, with some really neat moves designed to maximise G+P!
Ian will be back after his next MMA fight next weekend - all the guys will be looking forward to it!
Cheers Ian!
