Thank you

Thank-you for training this year. It has been a pleasure to coach such a great bunch of guys. We have made a good impression since opening 18 months ago doing well in some major tournaments. Special thanks to Dave and Jason who have trained with me from the outset and who form a large part of our club interms of the technical development of our guys but also are great examples of how to train hard with an outstanding attitude. Its fantastic to leave the place in such good hands when I cant be there to teach myself. Thank you also for the gifts of a instructional dvd series by Demian Maia as well as the book by Rodrigo Gracie called The Path to Black Belt. These will be a great resource in the future and I am certain will lead to much more sweat. So from little things big things grow.........

Here for your viewing pleasure is a highlight clip of Rodrigo Gracie, the author of the book, fighting BJ penn back in 2004 in Hawaii and getting the living suitcase punched out of him. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.
