Change of plan for next week topic

Tuesday 25 November:

Instead of teaching the topic of the turtle position, Henri and Igo will be teaching Judo.

It is a great opportunity for our members to ask questions and get great tips from them.

Igor and Henry are Judo black belts and also blue belt in BJJ.

Thursday 27 November:

Turtle topic.

Jose will teach a arm bar from attacking the turtle. He control the far arm with a half nelson to set it up this high % submission.

Thursday will still be Nogi.

The topic for December will be Questions and Answers.

Training will more casual as we will wind down for the end of the year.

Linjian Chan Graduation

Dear members of the Auckland BJJ community, Today, we gather to celebrate the remarkable achievements of one of our own, Linjian Chen, who has earned his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Linjian's journey has been unique and inspiring, starting in his 50s and culminating with this incredible achievement. As we honor Linjian's dedication, perseverance, and unwavering commitment to his training, I am reminded of a quote by Bruce Lee, who said, "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." Linjian embodies this spirit of action and determination, always pushing himself to be better and never giving up on his goals.

An extremely "good people", that captivates people in 10 minutes of conversation, no exception to the questions and plays with death. Enjoy the result of this pleasant conversation with the "Master Tonicão " which lasted an...
