Graduation 08-12-2018 and another surprise

We had a fantastic graduation today.  Congratulations to Pietro for achieving his grey/white belt.  Pietro is part of the group of my first students.  I love watching his Jiu Jitsu and very proud to be his instructor.  Everyone else earned a stripe today for their hard work and consistent training.

I look forward to teaching every class.  I can't think of anything more fun for me and Aidan than training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and passing it on to others to enjoy.  So many great things have happened to me and Aidan that wouldn't have occurred if we weren't involved in Bjj.

I want to thank Stuart and Serge for all their support and mentoring.  They are an integral part of my Jiu Jitsu journey.  Without them I wouldn't be able to grade my students legitimately under the IBJJF rules.

Once again Stuart and Serge surprised me today at our graduation.  They gave our gym a congratulatory plaque for our 1st year anniversary.  I have to say I was a little choked up whilst receiving the plaque.  I'm very lucky to have such thoughtful and kind professors.  Oss!

Upcoming graduation

It's that time again!

We will be having our graduation on Saturday the 22nd of September at 10:00am.  We will have our 9:00am class as normal and then do our graduation in the beginning of our 10:00am class.

It will be great to see everyone turn up for this graduation.  We will be taking photos of the group and individuals  as they receive their promotion.

Students will need to have a black tab on their belt. This is where the stripes will go.  The tab is 11.5 to 12cm. A tailor or anyone with a sewing machine can add the tab. See the photo below for a reference.

Tuesday training report

Hello again everyone

We started by reviewing the 2 headlock escapes we worked on in our Saturday class.  We then moved onto an escape with a take down and cross face maneuver to break free of the headlock.  Everyone enjoyed working this technique.  It's always a lot of fun when we work on take downs.

We ended class by giving stripes to the students that were unable to attend our Saturday class.  I'm very proud of everyone's effort and focus in our Tuesday class.  What a great team we have in all our classes. A big well done to all of you.

Graduation time

Good day everyone

We will be having a graduation on June 30th at 10:00am.  It is a great opportunity to get everyone together to celebrate your achievements and be rewarded for all the hard work.
