Wednesday night's class

 Had a very enjoyable session on Wednesday as always at SW19, going over a few options to sweep and take the back from half guard bottom position, plus shark tanks for the monkeys competing at Caged BJJ in December and lots of rolling :)

Last night's class

 Last night was a historic occasion at Northern Monkey HQ as for the first in the club's history, all belt colours from white to black were represented on the mats and all from Wimbledon BJJ students :)

Oh, and everyone was wearing a Gi too!!

FAIXA MARROM!

 Last night gave me immense pleasure to award my first brown belt to my student George Brown :)

A brown for Brown :)

Massive congrats from myself and everyone at the club on your remarkable achievement, hard work and sacrifices duly rewarded, next stop in the BIG ONE!

Stripe #1 for Moustafa!

 Huge congrats to Moustafa who was awarded his very well earned first stripe on his white belt last night from yours truly :)

Gold for Erik and George!

 George and Erik came to the club last night with both their well earned gold medals from the Brighton Open, huge congrats to them both from everyone at the club :)

Last night's class

 Another busy session last night, studying the half guard position when on the bottom with two high percentage sweeps and an easy escape out to attack the back, before a solid of hour of shark tanks and rolling for six monkeys who are competing next month at the Caged BJJ event.

Hard work from everyone, was great to hit the mats and twist up some fools myself :)

Erik's medals!

 Erik was back on the mats last night and brought his latest batch of medals along to show off to his fellow monkeys; HUGE congrats once again for an outstanding performance, three matches three submissions, can't argue with that!

Last night's class

 Another killer session in the Gi last night, lots of rolling and old school Jiu Jitsu techniques, more of the same tomorrow :)

Double gold for Erik!

 Once again another very good day at the office for young Erik as he bagged double gold at the NEON event in Southampton on Saturday, competing in Gi and No Gi :)

Thanks to Mike 'Gip' Cutting for cornering him on the day, very much appreciated :)

Wednesday night's class

 A little late with this post due to work commitments, but better late than never; had a great Gi session on Wednesday night, great turnout from the monkeys as we helped Erik prepare for the NEON event at the weekend just gone :)

New You Tube video - the 2 on 1 Arm drag!

 Another short video filmed at Zentai Jiu Jitsu in Portsmouth, showing a high percentage wrestling move the 2 on 1 arm drag; I was shown this way back in 1992 by my Trad JJ instructor Trevor Roberts and have been using it ever since in Gi and No Gi and works a treat on the doors too :)

Watch the video, subscribe to the channel and have fun with it :)

More medals for Erik!

 Two more medals for young Erik at the weekend at the Grappling Industries event and no rest for the wicked as he is competing again this weekend at the NEON event in Southampton :) 

Last night's class

 Back in the Gi this week and for the for the foreseeable future until the weather improves; a great turn out from the all the coloured belts, a few of them missing last night, but looking much better with the new coloured belts :)

New You Tube video - the Half Alch turnover!

 This short video was filmed last weekend in Portsmouth at Zentai Jiu Jitsu, arranged by my very good friend Colin Foster; it was a two hour Catch session and Colin managed to film a few techniques, this one I have been using for over thirty years, first shown by my old Jiu Jitsu coach Trevor Roberts.

Watch it, study and try it out in class and I hope you have as much fun with it as I have over the years :)

Gold and silver for Erik!

 Another good day at the office for young Erik at the Grappling Industries event today, bagging a gold and silver in Gi and No Gi; this young man is on fire right now, looking forward to his next comp next week at the NEON event in Southampton :)

Last night's class

 Started the month off in fine style with a killer No Go session last night at SW19, going over a few guard passes and played around with the Dope Mount position, plus a solid hour of specifics and sparring.

Young Erik is competing at the weekend at the Grappling Industries event in Gi and No Gi, so best of luck young man :)
