This week was exciting as we opened our second location in Sandringham. We are still open for new members (beginners welcome) at our new additional site (681 Sangringham Road). We covered the topic of the mount which is one of the most devastating position which is rewarded by four points under IBJJF rules. Next week, we will cover the topic of the back position. Our coaching staff (Stu, Laurance and Luiz are gone to the Clark Gracie seminar). I would expect them to come back with with some new techniques and/or new details of techniques. The club paid for the cost of the seminar for all the coaches. it is one way to invest back into our instructors and give them motivation and inspiration by training under Clark Gracie. Also we are having our first inaugural Auckland BJJ Invitational GI competition on Saturday 07 July from 10-12 am.
