Training program for the rest of the year 2015

As you know by now, we like to follow a training program based on position and actions to ensure
that we cover our curriculum with effectiveness and efficiency.

This is the last cycle for the rest of 2015 year.

We would have covered each topic 4 times this year.

Hence, the mount topic was taught 4 times/4 weeks this year etc..

As usual, there is the traditional graduation held at Professor Douglas Santos Team HQ on the first weekend of December.

The graduation starts at 10 am sharp and please be on time.

You need to wear a white gi and a DS Team back patch.

Actually I need to sort out some back patches (screen prints as they are cheaper).

Then in the afternoon, we are being invited to a judo competition held by the University Auckland Judo Club.
It is also Sensei Rick Littlewood birthday: BBQ and beers from 2 pm.
While it is Judo rules, Rick said he will allow old school rules (leg grabs, more time on newaza).
I already recruited Joas Alberton as he is always keen for a Judo competition.

At the moment, I am contemplating closing the club between Xmas and New Year.

Lot of people are always keen to train through the holidays.

If we have many yes, we will stay open otherwise we all need to give our body a break.

Stu will be back at the beginning of November, we will release the names of the students to be graded to next belt.

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. Another great quote that comes to mind is by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Linjian's journey to this point has been long and challenging, but he has always shown that he has what it takes to succeed. His strength, d...

Antonio Claudio Collares “Tonicão” Jiu Jitsu

I try to not copy other people's articles.  However I made an exception on this one because it is near impossible finding out interview of the master translated in English. Tonicao means big Toni (just in case you wondered). Tonicao gave the black belt to Douglas Santos. Therefore Tonicao is part of our lineage. I got the info from http://klbjj.blogspot.co.nz/2008/06/interview-with-tonicao.html Interview with Tonicao I translated from Portuguese to English and made some corrections. INTERVIEW WITH TONICÃO The first developer of Jiu - Jitsu in Santa Catarina, this black belt (almost red and black) of 54 years well lived, 30 of them devoted to the Jiu - Jitsu , is definitely a person with a lot of histories . 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...
