Training report: North South and August Calendar

This week, we covered the North South Position
for fundamentals.

Often discarded in some program, we cover this position 4 weeks per year as it is legit dominant position to establish a guard pass just like the side control position.

James (Judo second degree black belt) covered the principles of grip fighting  on Monday at Sandrigham.

We are still taking new students at the Sandringham location.

Come down for a free class.

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.
