Wardancer and the power of the Internet.

Had a quick conversation with some of people after class about competitions. Im all for the crew competing and encourage it at all opportunities. What frustrates me is the lack of information!

Currently there is no reason for not notifying people of up coming events. None. If your having a BJJ comp in New Zealand wouldn't you let all the known BJJ clubs in on the fun? Well theres a comp in Auckland in 2 weeks, information is sketchy and I doubt any of our guys will go. Flights will cost around 300-400 at this late date and we don’t know where it is or what the rules / weight divisions are.

This conversation has been nutted out on the net before. If you want to read it here it is.

Im BJJNZ (funnily enough) and I know a couple of the other posters. Wardancer is from Douglas Jiu Jitsu in Auckland and I think he's a bit slow??

Anyway, to cut a long story short he bagged everyone for not turning up to the competition. A competition we knew nothing about. Well that competition has come around again and again we still know nothing about it.

One of his arguments was that we should have asked about it and also they didn’t know how to get hold of us to let us know. Bullshit! Try this test for me. Go to google, the worlds biggest and most trusted search engine. Type in BJJNZ see what you get. What you get is pages of links to us. To our sites and site that link to us. Try and avoid BJJ NZ?! You cant. Now try it for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu New Zealand or anything similar. What do you get? Us!

So yes once again New Zealands Largest BJJ club misses out on competing due to no information supplied anywhere! What a waste.
