Training report: guard submissions and De La Riva Guard

The white belts learned guard submissions and the more advanced students learned De La Riva
guard.

This the first week we are back training full time in the Gi for the past 7 months.

We are 5 weeks away from the next Gi competition which is on Saturday 13/04/17.

It is the regional GI competition run by the NZ grappler.

In the past, they run a double elimination which means you have guaranteed 2 matches.

So as usual, the club will refund half of the entries fees of our competitors.

We also will have the $100 challenge for the competitor that has the most submissions.

In case of a draw, the winners will split the prize money.

We are going back to our old tradition of going out after the competition.

This time, the location has changed.

It will at the Yakitori House in Shortland Street.

Our host will be Khan (Judo black belt).

As usual, there are 3 options if you want train this week-end.

BJJ open mats at Atos from 10 am.

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...
