Open Mat at LFF

Great to be back down at LFF once more, after shaking off the most lingering and miserable Man Flu ever to hit the male species...it's been a really bus week with many visitors to the gym, as Polaris will be underway as I type and the UFC the day after at the O2.

With Polaris and the UFC on this weekend, it's been a roll call of Jiu Jitsu celebs here at LFF...Rodrigo Cavaca did three days focusing on the Gi, Vagner Rocha was taking a few classes, before his match with Ross Nicholls at Polaris...Eduardo 'Teta' Rios was also here, soaking up the good vibes and UK photographer Maggie Left took time to call in and see everyone, plus lots more, whose names escape me right now.

At the Open Mat today, there was a group of Jiu Jiteiros from the Basque Country on the mats and my good friend Paul Cleobury and his team mates were up from Bournemouth, all here for the weekend too.
