Champions Cup Report
Well seven competitors and one official photographer, who is highly skilled in BJJ, made their way over to Adelaide on Saturday afternoon to compete at this years Champions Cup. The day began promptly and ran smoothly for most of the day running late in the afternoon owing to injured competitors and a lack of officials. Paul Smith came home with a silver medal, Chris Gleeson with two bronze, me with a silver and a bronze. Not our best outing but preparation wasn't ideal and the goal is to peak for the Pan Pacs in 8 weeks time. So some valuable competition experience was gained at this event and many of the matches were decided by very small margins. In the end at least we know as a team were are close to the mark and require some fine tuning and more focused competition training. So from here on in to the Pan Pacs, Tues nite from 7pm in Gi and Saturday from 1pm in No-Gi will be Competition based sessions so be prepared to work hard. Lots more timed rounds, matches and takedowns practice, shark bait drills etc. to mimmick the intensity of matches. So the first hour will be fundamentals with some free rolling and second hour will be comp training focused.

Just snuck into the top ten....
Here is an article highlighting the top ten competitors at Black/Brown/Purple belt in Australia for results at AFBJJ tournaments in the past 3 years. I got a look in at number 10 for Purple Belt. The list makes for interesting reading in who performs well each and every competition. I would like to see a separate list for Adults/Masters/Seniors as the standard is different across the different age brackets and the Adult category still remains open age and in my opinion the gold standard where the true test lives. A few missing names at Purple belt include Priscus Fogagnolo, Dave Deconte and Graeme Waraera, three top guys that have performed well in recent competitions locally and overseas. Ross the Boss at number 5 in Browns will make some big gains over the next half of this year on current form me thinks. Rodney Ellis also needs to be recognized for his consistent efforts leading up to qualifying for ADCC. Lets see if we cant get some more Extreme names into this list in the coming months with the Champions Cup around the corner.

Never Pull Half Guard
Kenny Florian and Dave Camarillo being funny (ish). For some reason Master Joe Blackman reminds me of Ross the Boss. See if you can see what I mean. Maybe its the intensity and the language. There is a Part 2 to this episode if you dare.

Sunday 9th August at 12pm at Smithys place. To be confirmed.
