Ne waza session with Steve Gawthorpe
Tonight at Wolverhampton Judo Club we has a guest instructor , his name is Steve Gawthorpe.
He is a red and white belt :O and his groundwork is seriously immense!
He spent an hour and half showing us some very nice techniques!
He is apparently gonna be coming to the club on a regular basis to help with the ground training , this is a great thing!!
Has anyone here ever trained with Steve?

Such a lovely man too!! and very respectul towards BJJ.
lol, awaits the story about Steve choking the dude out....
alot of Judoka speak very highly of Steve Gawthorpe. My brother says he awesome on the mat.

Yes I've trained with him and he is a ne waza legend.
Me and Dickie taught a seminar alongside Steve Gawthorpe and
Ray Stevens focussing on Ne Waza to
British Judo Association Coaches.
Steve showed some awesome techniques.
Steve almost choked me out!! by accident of course.....
The guy taught at my club recently , awesome technique , powerful strangles and chokes i was on the receiving end of one of his strangles and i would have been out in seconds if he had wanted to put me out !
Thats what im saying!! he could of done what he wanted with me!!
Out of interest, if I'm attending BJJ am I not learning ne waza by another name? Or is ne waza something quite different?
bjj's ground game is far more in depth than judo's .
I find I'm more "into" the ground game than the stand-up so I'm taking a break from judo at the minute to pursue bjj
