Last night's class

 Ended the month off in style with another hot and sweaty session in the Gi last night at Wimbledon BJJ, more guard passing gold and lots of rolling, getting ready for the NAGA event in April :)

New rash guards are here!

 Huge thanks to Armada Apparel for their awesome service, delivering the new club rash guards to the gym last night, making a lot of monkeys very happy :)

The first batch were given out last night and everyone put them on and put them to the test, was great to see the rash guards on people and not just on a photo, looking forward to dishing the rest of them out over the next few classes :)



Last night's class

 Another hot and sweaty No Gi session last night at Wimbledon BJJ, carrying on with the takedowns from Monday, a solid hour of rolling and cooled down with drilling the Gotch toe hold...a fantastic session as always!

Last night's class

 A very hot and sweaty session last night at Wimbledon BJJ...the mist never lies :)



You Tube video - the DEADLY Grovit!

Filmed a short video in class last night of the infamous Catch Wrestling Grovit submission, or the front face lock or front head lock as it's also known as in wrestling circles...the sequence filmed comes directly from the late Billy Robinson himself, when I attended a seminar with him at Ian Bromley's gym in Stockport, back in 2011 (RIP)

It's definitely one to have in your arsenal :)

Last night's class

Had a very enjoyable session last night, spreading the Valentine love with lots of Jiu Jitsu hugs and Catch Wrestling kisses :)

Left the room like a steam bath, as always, hard work from everyone :)

You Tube video - bicep slice from Lasso guard!

 Filmed another shirt technique video last night in class, a really sneaky bicep slicer from the Lasso guard...you set the Lasso guard and attempt a sweep half heartedly, which your opponent defends and starts to pass the guard and falls right into the fiendish bicep slicer trap!

Give it a try in class :)



Erik's gold medals!

 Always a proud moment for me as a coach, when students return from comps with their medals :)

Great to have Erik back with a couple of gold medals from the NEON event at the weekend in Southampton :)



Last night's class

 A very hot and steamy session last night, Gorillas in the Mist springs to mind (old school film reference for all the youth out there) but lots of fun for all as always :)

You Tube video - rolling loop choke!

 Filmed a short video last night at Wimbledon BJJ, the rolling loop choke, a high percentage submission against an opponent that turtles up :)



Last night's class

 Started another month of Jiu Jitsu in fine style last night, with a closed guard masterclass and lots of rolling...more fo the same tomorrow :)

Double gold for Erik!!

 Another good day at the office for young Erik, who bagged gold medals in Gi and No Gi at the NEON event in Southampton at the weekend :)

One very proud coach!!

Last night's class

 Rounded off the first month of the new year in fine style last night, with a killer Gi session...not even the train strikes can keep the monkeys away from being treated to a master class in attacking the opponent when they turtle up...ending the session with a solid hour of rolling :)

Iron sharpens iron :)
