On another note, BJJ instructor Andrew is celebrating his 65th birthday this year! To mark the occasion, on Sunday 8th December from 9:30am he has organised a 65 minute “rollathon” to raise funds for two fundraisers. One raising funds for disabled athletes and the other raising funds for BJJ legally blind instructor Andre Powell to go to Sweden to teach BJJ to visually impaired athletes there. Here’s a link to his fundraiser on Facebook that you can contribute to: https://www.facebook.com/donate/415001342743983/2848192118548491/ but join us on the day as well! There will be a gold coin sausage sizzle on the day, all proceeds will go to this cause.

See you on the mat!

PS grading is only a few weeks away! Get your butts into training!!

Peruvian Finale

Jiu jitsu 6PM. No-gi. Peruvian Finale! We’re going through the last 3 submissions from the Peruvian Set Up. Some no-gi rolling to kick things off and ease out. This is it! The final three techniques in the Peruvian Set Up series.

If you missed the first two, no problem! Here’s a quick recap: The Peruvian Set Up is a series of three submissions – an armlock, a choke, and a leglock – that can be used to finish a fight.

These techniques are often used in mixed martial arts (MMA), Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ), and other grappling martial arts. They are highly effective and can be used to finish a fight quickly.

The first submission in the Peruvian Set Up is an armlock. This technique can be used to Submission an opponent by hyperextending their elbow joint. It is a very painful technique and can cause serious injury if not applied correctly.

The second submission in the Peruvian Set Up is a choke. This technique can be used to choke an opponent unconscious or force them to tap out. It is a very powerful technique and should only be used in sport or self-defense situations.

The third and final submission in the Peruvian Set Up is a leglock. This technique can be used to hyperextend an opponent’s knee joint. It is a very painful technique and can cause serious injury if not applied correctly.

These are the three submissions in the Peruvian Set Up. Remember, these techniques are highly effective and can be used to finish a fight quickly. Check out our timetable for other classes. Train hard and stay safe!

Smashing It!!

What an awesome few nights of training we’ve had! Thank you so much to Dave and John and seniors for pulling together while Sifu’s on his seminar tour. They have put on some fantastic classes this week, I hope you didn’t miss it.

Thank you all also for making the new/potential students on the mat feel welcome – especially when myself or Sifu isn’t there to look after them – as new students keep us growing and the school fresh.

Tonight is no-gi BJJ with March, starts at 6pm and will cover sweeps to and attacks from side control, plus a quick recap of the Peruvian Dozen, no-gi sequence.

Train hard!

See you Saturday!

THE 3RD PLACE

Another great week of hard training …Im off to qld for an intense week of seminars and training lookinf forward to hanging out with Richard and the lads then off to Wills and the Ipswich crew…Big hit out on the mat tomorrow so dont miss it !

THE 3RD PLACE

We have a tendancy to break our lives down into 2 main areas work and home …Work can be exciting , stimulating,challenging, stressfull it can also be dull ,boring and unchallenging …Whatever the case may be it puts food on our tables and pays the bills …Home can be peaceful , nurturing ,relaxing , supportive but it can also be damn hard work …balancing healthy relationships,wrangling young ones and keeping the roof over our heads …Thats why you need a 3rd place somewhere you can go to work on yourself …To sweat, destress and unwind a place were your allowed to be just you .. to train hard with friends and have some laughs along the way ..Everyone needs that  3rd place for us its the mat ..That sacred place were we uphold the traditions of our forbearers…Were we practice courage daily and embrace the virtues of Family Honour Loyalty …Forging lasting friendships …Developing real world skills …And becoming the best version of ourselves…When i travel i miss our mat..It nurtures me …But the upside is i get to hang out on other mats that embrace our same philosophy…Truly lucky …See you at the 3rd place …Regards Sifu
