6 weeks until Pan Pacs

Its just under 6 weeks until this years Pan Pacs to held at MSAC in Albert Park. This year the event will be held over two days Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th of November. It is likely that Gi divisions will be on one day and No-gi divisions on the other. For those interested in competing now is the time to ramp up your training and do some extra cardio work. I have taken a copy of some guidelines that Cris Brown has created at Chadstone and will post them at the gym as well as a copy of the rules of competition. Please make yourself familiar with the points system and develop a game plan for your style of grappling and which weight division suits you best. If your not sure ask me. Also there is competition training at Chadstone every Mon/Wed/Fri nite at 6pm. Please make an effort to get to some of these sessions before the competition. This is a great opportunity to meet some of the crew at Chadstone and wrestle with some different guys. There is talk of a Wednesday nite carpool from Mornington so ask some of the more senior guys if your interested. Otherwise get on the mat at Mornington at least three times a week leading up to the competition. I will commit to helping you get ready for the comp but you need to commit and make some sacrifices as well. The Pan Pacs are a great chance to get the ball rolling in your first comp and there will be no other major comps until early next year. For the boyz who went to Hobart there is a weeks grace to rest the body and mind but then its time to refocus and get back on task.
