Sunday was cold and dark and not at all a nice day. So naturally I was expecting a small class, you can imagine my surprise when we ended up with 37 on the mat!

Absolutely no room to move or drill as we normally would. So we had to quickly improvise some in the hole drills to keep everyone involved but not in danger of getting knocked by other people. Fantastic turnout for such a shit day.

Many stayed on for the Gi-less grappling and we ended up with about 20 on the mat rolling. Again far too many to safety roll, but everyone made it through all right.

Thanks to everyone for coming out on such a cold day and hopefully we'll be better prepared for that many again.

Injured my knee on Monday and getting information on whats wrong with it is proving difficult. I actually went to the Dr and even had X-rays done but still no idea whats wrong. So I'm pretty much going to do what I always do, ignore it and carry on as normal. :)

Classes have been fantastic and last night was no exception. There were about 28 people on the mat for Fundamentals and almost 20 stayed behind for the Gi-less class. Alex was on the mat polishing off his game and drilling some fitness stuff in final preparation for this fight on July 1st. in Porirua.



Lasts nights class had a great atmosphere to it and several people commented on it. Things seem to be really coming together on the mat for many of the crew. It's great to hear that sort of feedback and see the dedication of so many people.

Thanks

The last women only class is next Sunday, 18 June.

After that - those who are keen will be joining in the Fundamentals class
if you haven't already.

I'm off to San Francisco soon
I'm sure you all will enjoy your training at GSW!

Sunday the 11th of June every club training at the MVD will be participating in the open day.
GSW - BJJ
Budokan - Judo
MVD - Kyokushin Karate
and the new yoga lady.

GSW will have an area in the club with information about our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Submission Grappling training. We will be giving away memberships and gear as well as other incentives to encourage new people to sign up and join GSW.

During the hours of the open day we will be demonstrating Grappling drills and techniques to show people what it is we do at GSW. These will not be flashy prearranged techniques or drills but rather just general grappling and Syllabus techniques.

Anyway, Sunday - 1pm till 3.30pm Demos are 15mins only. If you have friends or family who have previously expressed an interest then bring them down, get them on the mat and show them what we do.
