Good weekend for the club

The results of the weekend, we had 5 fighters and won 2 fights. We won the most important fight the title fight for middleweight championship. One of the worst knock outs I have seen. High Kick to the face. The other guy was out cold.

There was some really bad decisions buy the refs. One fight that should have been a draw and one where two of the refs had it as a draw, but I cant see have that could ever have been a draw. Hopefully the next time they will have some better refs that know what they are doing.

Other then that it is going really well with the club the basic class is growing and more and more people are calling or sending mails. My gole for this year is that we have 100 students. And we are on our way. More and more people are interested in BJJ, SW and MMA.

Today I went to Malmø to train with my trainer, some good sparring, the things that I'm working on now was working good for me. I'm trying to take the back and working on the half guard. Trying to set up the back and different sweeps. This works well for me in the club, but that doesent say much, since I'm the only brown belt and most of the students are blue and white belts. I still have problems doing the stuff on the other purple belts. But it was nice to feel that I'm not totally off.

Two new Purple belts in the club

Last night we had a seminar in the club with our black belt Peter Blackwell.

At the begining of the seminar we gave out two new belts, one to Ida how won the Copa do Mundo and the European Championships as a blue belt. And to Rune that got two silver medals at the Master & Senior this year. Both well deserved. I think that we were about 25 people, this is a lot for our club. Peter showed some really nice takedowns, all from the same grib.

We just received a complaint about the smell from our club :-). guess that they are not used to the smell of sweaty kimonos. Hopefully we can get to an agreement with the other people in the building. But sounds like they are not that happy with us. Would be really bad if we had to find a new place. In Copenhagen it hard to rent a place where you can have a martial arts club.

The training is going really well in the club, a lot of people at every class. And signups every week. This saturday 5 guys from the club is competing in a danish MMA event Adrenaline. Looking forward to it. All the guys look ready to go.

A new highlight from this years Master & Senior.



It is a little dark, but I think that it is ok.

Did some squat, deadlift and overhead press this morning, it really helps with my back and neck. I dont get so tired in the lower back. And I can feel that it thigtens up in the upper back/neck. I had a lot of problems with my neck. Just got over some seriouse problems with the left side of my neck and shoulder. Couldn't train for 2-3 months, and lost a lot of strength in the left side of my body. It is still not back to normal, but much better. There are things that I should not do. That is the problem with getting older. Injuries just takes so much longer :-(
But I'm back rolling on the mats, the standup I'm still taking it easy with.
