Some moments from the Sunday Seminar. Great techniques, environment and community spirit. Busy mat and great progress made. An excellent day, thank you to the many people that came to this long 3 hours class and well done if you survived the whole thing and the pub afterwards! 😁

Amazing seminar today, many people turned up for 1-3 hours and we worked on 3 different systems before having some rounds!

We then all went for some excellent food and drinks near the dojo.

Dan is, as Oscar says someone who completely turned himself around. He started off a completely different person, someone who he wanted to change.

He is now without a doubt to all his friends, teammates, family and opponents one of the toughest people you could put in any room and has developed an arsenal of amazing techniques.

Not only that, he has proved himself as a well-rounded mixed martial artist, judoka and submission grappler. He has beaten many opponents from top-named gyms in the UK in bjj and mma. He has additionally medalled silver in judo, travelled far with Oscar and other teammates to train with ADCC medalists, Olympic judokas and ufc fighters - all of whom have praised Dan for his amazing achievements and skill.

He is one of our greatest prides and has given back to the gym massively by being an inspiration and amazing training partner to all those lucky enough to train and talk to Dan.

We wish him luck on his travels and give him this small token as acknowledgment of all of his efforts and achievements - the belt saying what everyone thinks when describing Dan as a fighter and martial artist.

We look forward to your return where you will be stronger than ever!

Save the date: 11th October we will be hosting a seminar for Nogi with Dan and Oscar as well as all go and get some food and drinks as a team afterwards!

This is to celebrate Dan’s contributions to our dojo before he goes to New Zealand for 1-2 years to train at some great mma gyms and have some adventures before returning back to us even stronger!

If you have grappled in either nogi, judo or done mma with Dan before, if he has helped you, taught you a few things, got you into our club or motivated you with his achievements and attitude then please - come down to celebrate this day with us via a seminar hosted with Dan and Oscar covering their favourite techniques for mma and Nogi and their principles! 😁

Dm us on social media if you are a non-member and wanting to come down! 🙏

Judo is a martial art that rewards fast decision-making. On the ground or on top. You can’t be slow to attack nor take time to recover from poor positions in judo whether it’s standing up or our transitions to newaza on the ground!

A great class today, no injuries, new faces, lots of effort and technique built on our osoto gari entries and our general judo skills - plenty of both respect and character shown on the tatami, something our martial art emphasises and encourages! 😁

Our Judo Jedi working hard in Nogi today.

Principle was all about chest to back connection off of various entries and positions including top turtle variations, the high ground position, back control and broken down pins where we look to isolate the hips!

We looked at some nice effective entries to submissions from these positions too and had a great class with us all making massive progress! 😁💪

Our one year anniversary of the Nogi Sunday classes. 🥳

Thank you everyone who came down, it was lovely seeing old familiar faces as well as new faces. People from Kaizen, people from Scramble, people back from Australia, judokas, children, mma fighters and bjj people!

Thank you for making our community so great, everyone looked super sharp and made massive gains with the game-based learning and rounds we did, this is only the beginning and we can’t wait to keep growing and keep getting better way faster than ever before with the amazing level of our dojo!
