roll, have fun & train regularly! Youll find a constant in bjj that everyone who is good has trained regularly for a long time and enjoys training. Put in the matt time and it will fall in to place

before i got my purple belt i asked if i could not have it (its better to rule in hell than serve in heaven). Id say it took me 6 months before i felt really comfortable as a purple but we've all...

if i had the option to compete at 62 i would but most comps run 65 or 68 as the lowest. If nobody turned up for them would i go home or compete in the catagory up? And if i did would they have to ask...

its mad how people dont enter a catagory cause no one else has. Female grappling is plagued by this! Its about quality not quantity.

So how is the -68kg adv catagory stacking up? I might ditch the...

Im suprised that no one has done a similar thing over here though, if...

Was a really good standard in every catagory and as really well ran as expected, definatley one to go to.

Well done to SBG 4 Golds, 2 Silvers & a Bronze (sorry mike)

And a big well done for the...

Its funny how people ask questions about information that is readily available to them, it says on the website that there is a womens catagory but i think novice and advanced cats are numbers...

When im teaching passing guard i talk about the "fundamental 5" (thats how i was taught it)
