On Tuesday 25th March after Easter we will return to Gi training full time. This will give us 6 weeks to begin preparations for the AFBJJ Vic State Champs to be held at MSAC on Saturday 3rd of May. There has been some talk of making the trip to Tassie for the Champions Cup in September so please make sure you have qualified for this tourney by placing in this years states or last years pan pacs or champions cup to be eligible.
We will try and get the softer wrestling mat down every Saturday to get some all important match practice and takedowns going before the comp.
Oh I figured out whats going on with MMA training at Chelsea and it seems I had it all wrong. It's a Kimekai Karate School in Chelsea Heights off Wells Rd that has BJJ/MMA classes and these are Iisted on the Peter de Been website. I know Marco Mazzanti, the head instructor who teaches in Highett, from Shukokai days. I had a good chat with him at the Champions Cup last year. He is a fantastic martial artist and his school in Highett is where De Been started his BJJ club, Marco is a purple belt with Peter. Dont know much about the chap teaching at Chelsea Heights but it seems from the website that he has a background in traditional karate and kickboxing and is a qualified chef. Kimekai KO is their team of MMA fighters who compete at local shows. I also know Wayne Ronaldson who has taught Karate for Marco in the past and competed in MMA events. Wayne is also tough as nails, so I hope he is there as well, he is a great training partner.
