Congrats to Leyla Okyay who will be heading to Abu Dhabi next year for the World Pro Jiu Jitsu competition. Leyla just recently left our Submission mat and moved up to Whangarei and started her own club.  It was awesome to see Leyla take out the Women’s over 65kg division.

Also one of Andrew Craven from GroundControl (Will/Machado) took out the Purple belt division and is heading to Abu Dhabi as well.

We wish both Leyla and Andrew all the best for the next few months of hard training in preparation for the Worlds next year.

Warren. John and Serina weren’t so lucky on the day.  they all had very tough fights.

Warren got 3rd place in the open and Serina and John both placed fourth in their weight divisions.

Good luck to Warren, John, Nick and Serina from Submission Takapuna who are competing in the Trials tomorrow at the Tamaki Recreation Centre. Entry is $10 for spectators.

We wish all the Will/Machado students in NZ who are competing all the best as well!

Vince Lowe won his fight by KO which later got appealed and changed to a TKO with a rematch opportunity. Vince won his fight in 30seconds!

Brayden Goldring won his fight after fighting three rounds it was announced a draw so had to go a fourth round.  he dominated his opponent in the fourth round.

We achieved what we set out to achieve which was to have fun!

BJJ

With the Will/Machado nationals coming up this weekend Warren focused the class on rolling, working on what we know rather than learning something new. I spent the class trying to reinforce the things I want to remember for the comp, tweaking little things and enjoying rolling.

MMA

Mark led us in a sparing class, keeping it really light and not wanting to have any injuries for Saturday. We were trying to think about using different combinations rather than getting sucked into a jab, cross, hook, single kick sort of mind set. We focused on varying our strategies, and not worrying about getting hit so much, or whether we were “winning”.

Best of luck to everyone competing this weekend!
