It's another week of No GI and Catch Wrestling at SW19, as we bake in the lovely hot weather, no idea how long it's going to last, so best make the most of it, together with lots of hard training, as we get ready for the Grappling Industries comp in July, not long now :)
Another hot and sweaty session at Wimbledon BJJ last night in the PJ's again, getting ready for the Grappling Industries event in July and bringing back the bling once again :)
HUGE congrats on the monkeys on their very well earned stripes, presented on Monday night, all four moving closer to next colour :)
Having a few weeks back in the Gi, as have a few monkeys competing in the Gi division in the Grappling Industries event in July; it's now the warmest days of the year and quite a few kilos were lost by everyone on Monday night, more of the same tonight :)
As you get older you have to keep up appearances on and off the mats and last night I was on fine form, repping the awesome training gear from Armada Apparel in our No Gi class :)
Twisting up fools feels so much better when dressed for the occasion :)
Another killer No Gi session last night, mixing up the drills and techs and lots of live training as always, really looking forward to seeing the monkeys in action in July at the Grappling Industries event :)
It's another week of No Gi at Wimbledon BJJ and things are hotting up as we get ready for the upcoming Grappling Industries event in July....lots of hard work, sweat and brutal shark tanks for those competing and new drills to sharpen up our stand up game.
More of the same tomorrow :)
Another hot and sweaty No Gi session last night at Wimbledon BJJ, with a welcome return to my old student Vassko, aka The Beast From The East , who's back in the UK for a month and came back to where it all began for him at SW19 :)
I was more than happy to reacquaint my BJJ brother with pleasant moves such as the half alch takedown to neck crank, the Grovit, the cradle and others on his short trip back to SW19, which he thoroughly enjoyed :)
A pleasure as always having old friends on the mats :)
It's been a long slog over the last ten years, but I'm very proud of what the club has achieved; we have established ourselves on the UK competition circuit, competing every month and winning medals at prestigious events such as ADCC, NAGA, Grappling Industries to name a few and numbers are increasing at the club every month.
Our Saturday Open Mats are the stuff of legends with lots of my Jiu Jitsu friends travelling far and wide to join the fun on the mats and afterwards in the Spoons, what's not to love?
I'd like to thanks all my students past and present for turning up every week and making the club what it is and helping me develop as a student of the art and as an instructor, working my way up from brown belt in 2014, up to second degree black belt.
I'd like to make a HUGE shout out to Luiz Ribeiro at London Fight Factory for taking me under his wing when I came to London ten years ago and looking after me and sharing his academy with me and for all the awesome seminars over the last ten years, look forward to many more :)
Here's to the next ten years, if I can find enough tape to keep me together :)
OOS!!
It's No Gi again this week, as we enjoy the (slightly) warmer weather here in Wimbledon and as ever, another hot and VERY sweaty session last night, more of the same tomorrow :)
