This is actually a pretty awesome video on belt tying - I use the 'Slick and tight' version - really like it.

I'm with Bob on this one. Beer all the way.

Simon/Dickie/Wilson and everyone at Carlsons, thanks for all the amazing teaching, sparring, support and general smashing. Its' been an awesome ride and long may it continue. Many congratulations to...

No worries Simon! Have fun in Budapest. See you when you get back.

I'm sure i'll bump into someone who knows in the next few days but does anybody have the opening times to hand?

Would someone mind giving us judo novices the main differences between the BJA and the BJC - to be honest, I hadn't even heard of the BJC until this thread!

hey martin,

i've got a pair of fumetsu as well - from groundandpound.co.uk think they were £20 or so. pretty damn comfortable. wore them for the first time today. my old pair were adidas wrestling...

I have most of the day on video, but looking at it again now, you can't actually see see Mark because he's on the floor, being whipped, underneath about 30 guys! LOL.

Absolutely fucking hilarious.

Congratulations Walid. A truly awesome feat. As Wilson says, it doesn't the promotion to black belt happens very rarely and luckily, I have it on video if you want it. Let me know if you do and i'll...

In no particular order...

1. Don't break any more bones

2. Start judo

3. Take up yoga

4. Do more cardio

Dave, awesome skills. To recover from that and go onto triangle him so quickly. You may have broken your hand and hurt your ego, but you won. Let's not forget that. Ooooooosssss!!!

Ooooooooooossssssssssssss!!!

Thank you for another great post. Enlightening read.

Another good reason to do jiu jitsu. You don't suppress your anger. You use it to smash. And there's now the potential added benefit of reducing your...

Following on from a previous thread about a chap with a broken finger in the Kent Open, what's the worst jiu jitsu injury you've ever sustained? How long did it take for you to get back on the mats?...

Definitely urban legend. The hip joint is way too far away from the testicles. Not anatomically possible. But a good yarn nonetheless. Going to start a thread about awesome jiu jitsu injuries... Just...

Not entirely sure this is good advice, but I broke my arm a while back. Once it was strong enough to sustain a knock, I did one arm sparring for quite a while - and obviously tapped the minute anyone...

From personal experience, privates at Carlson, with any of the black belt instructors is well worth the money. I have learnt a tremendous amount from Wilson, Simon and Dickie and i'm sure I would...

Juvenile - just read it. Very similar thoughts indeed. In fact, I sparred with him the other day. LOL. Can't quite work out who was feeling worse - him or me? Clearly we're both having issues!

I'm in the midst of a run of about 2 weeks when every session seems to go worse than the one before! People I used to smash have tapped me. I feel weak, get knackered for no good reason and seem to...

Sadly, life regularly gets in the way of training for me. The way I try to get round it is to do at least one session a week. Regardless of what else is going on. Forward planning also helps.

Good way to kill some time in the afternoon! Found most of the clips you guys are talking about. Got to love YouTube...
