Training report: Mount

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.

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...
