Fights in January

Hope everyone had a great holiday, now that it's over its time to start training hard. The fights are less than a month away.
Here is a example of the choke we worked on last Sat, courtesy of Eugene.

Christmas schedule

Just a reminder that the gym is closed Dec 24-26. Also on Jan 1st. If you want to work out come out for the sambo class on Sat all are welcome.

Judo/Combat Sambo chokes

Here's a exellent example of the choke we worked on during this weeks sambo class. It's actually a judo technique called kata ha jime, but works equally well in combat sambo or bjj.

Sambo seminar

This weekend we hosted another successfull sambo seminar with Eugene Shewchuk. I'd like to thank everyone who attended, we'll definately be working on the material for a while. Hopefully we all took back something from the seminar. Special thanks to Joe for helping me out afterwards(hope your not to sore). I'll post some pictures soon.

BJJ class

We had our first bjj class today. Ryan did an excellent job teaching and showed us some techniques to improve our arbar from the guard and the knee slide guard pass. I'm sure with Ryan teaching everyone's game will go to a new level.
Dont forget there is no class tommorrow but Armando will be there to open up if you want to work out. I will be working with Eugene Fri nite. Seminar starts Sat at noon or shortly after, there will be a short break at 2 and we should be done by 4:15.
See you there.

Gokor Chivichyan

Here is a great example of the sambo belt roll and the inside trip that we worked today by sambo/judo legend Gokor.

Class updates

The BJJ class will start on Dec 11th from 7-8 pm. Ryan is a fantastic instructor and I'm sure everyone will benefit from his experience. Everyone is welcome to try it out.
Just a reminder that the sambo seminar with Eugene Shewchuk is Sat Dec 13th from 12-4pm with a short lunch at 2.
Also because of the all day seminar on Sat there wont be a class on Fri Dec 12th(go to the BJJ class if you need an extra workout).
