Silver at the South East Open...
One of my students went off to the South East Open on Sunday just gone and came back with a well earned silver medal; staying in line with BAIN's No Guard Pull January policy, George toed the line and hit the takedowns on his way to the finals and am very proud of his result, which is a great warm up for the Brighton Open in February.
Last night's class
Another busy and sweaty competition class last night, working the team hard as the Brighton Open looms on the horizon; lots of fun exploring the pleasure and pain of the knee on belly and S mount positions, lots more fun to come tomorrow night...

Silver medal for George..
Yesterday, one of my students gave me a big surprise by sneaking off to the South East Open without telling me and came back with a silver medal :)
Huge congrats to George, a great warm up for the Brighton Open in February and I'm told that no guard pulls occurred in his matches, just takedowns, keeping in line with BAIN's No Guard Pull January policy...

Scissor sweep video on WOMA.TV
This is my all time favourite sweep in Jiu Jitsu, the good old scissor sweep; this was first taught to me by my old Trad JJ coach Trevor Roberts, 9th Dan, way back around 1994 and I've been using it ever since.
Big thanks to my student Ron Roy for being a great Uke and to Will from WOMA.TV for the filming...

Grapple Kings Gi's in stock!
Start your training in style this year with these awesome range of Gi's from Grapple Kings!
GK Grapple Kings is a top quality Gi that’s comfortable and durable; the jacket is made from high quality pearl weave cotton and has reinforced stitching on all stress points. The jacket is 450 gsm and has a lightweight durable rubberised collar to prevent sweat and bacteria absorbtion and the collar is covered in ripstop cotton, making it more durable than normal canvas cotton.
The Gi pants are lightweight 8oz twill cotton pants, have double reinforced knee padding and are triple stitched across all stress points. They have 4 belt loops and rope drawstrings as opposed to the traditional twill which allows for tighter fastening of the pants, making them easier to secure and more comfortable when training and are also reinforced from the shin to the ankle.

Last night's class
Kick started 2018 with our first class last night, blowing away the cobwebs and the excesses of the Christmas break with lots of specifics and sparring, sharpening up our takedowns and arm bar finishes as well.
Come Monday, we will be starting our preparations for the Brighton Open in February, with lots of hard work and sweat to look forward to at the club; I am also looking forward to seeing all our BJJ friends at the event in Brighton, it's going to be a good one.
New t-shirts from BAIN!
These two awesome t shirts arrived this morning from my sponsor over at BAIN HQ; start the new year in style and head over to bainstore.com and order yours...
