Training report: Serge goes to Judo

Our sister club Auckland University Judo Club where we teach BJJ on Tuesday and Thursday has a class on Saturday at 11 am and finished around 12.30 pm.

Ben has been teaching the Saturday for the past 6 months and has program of techniques which he advertise and promote on his Facebook group.

The topic for today was exactly what I wanted to learn: Throw defense and a counter throw.

Ben also taught 4 grip breaking techniques which exactly what I need.

He continued the class with 3 chokes as well.

For sparring,we started from Ne Waza which I think is good instead of doing Tachi Waza first.

To be honest I felt a bit bad that I wore my BJJ gi which terribly tight fitting and unfair compare the Judo gi that others wore (which are more baggy).

Maybe I will borrow one from Stu or buy one.

Overall, a bunch of good guys and excellent teaching.

I shall go back.

Judo class are free for the Auckland BJJ students otherwise just check out their website for more information.

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...
