My very good friend Simon Hayes from Carlson Gracie Revolution BJJ Team, attended the BJA Southern Area grading at the Budokwai in London at the weekend and passed his competitive grading for 2nd Dan. Simon won three fights by Ippon (Throw,Hold Down,Submission) and lost one. He also qualified for a line up for the third time, but sadly there was not enough bodies on the day, but got the points required anyway from the ippon's. Simon managed to score an ippon against a 2nd Dan who weighed 120K!!
Simon is one of the most inspiring and dedicated teachers in the UK and his work ethic is second to no none, putting people half his age to shame!
Congratulations Simon on an excellent achievement - OOOOOSSSS!!!!
