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.

Team Submission wish you guys all the best for Saturday!  WAR!!!

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.

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!

Warren took the class and we focused on omoplata and then on working it in combination with arm bar from guard and triangle. It was a really great class, starting with the fundamental movements and then moving through the layers of the technique until you had something quite complex, without it being to much information.

In MMA Mark really pushed us with a striking work out. Working on combinations of jabs, straights, hooks, and elbows and then moving though them again, linking them with a double leg takedown. Personally I felt the cardio burn hard. Finishing off with sparring it was another great evening at submission martial arts.

We continued to work on learning to roll lightly instead of fighting. It’s been great to have repeated classes lately with this focus. Trying to relax and think instead of powering over, to let your opponent get stuff and then apply your own technique. I feel like I am getting better but have a ways to go. I find it hard to make sure my technique is effective rather than moving with power through a defence or positional control. It’s such a partner oriented thing too. If your partner speeds up, it’s really hard not to respond in kind. I think that my new goal is to not worry what my opponent is doing if they go fast, they go fast and I will just let them for that roll, letting it happen rather than getting sucked into trying to stop them. Ego is a tricky thing and it sneaks up on you from all directions. Checking your ego at the door is an eternal process it seems.

It was good to run through the blue belt syllabus in one go and I surprised myself with how much I remembered. I could feel that I spent time in some parts remembering, rather then executing technique perfectly, so more reps for me I guess.

Well done to everyone who was awarded new stripes. It’s always awesome recognising how far everyone has come and how well the guys ahead of you are doing.

Continuing to work with the Thai Clinch has been really interesting, seeing how effective it is as a control reinforced John Will’s discussion of leverage. It can feel like you aren’t doing that much but when you’re on the receiving end you feel like you can’t go any where.

Sparing was fun and we were all conscious of sparring and not fighting in the same way as we worked on rolling not fighting in BJJ. Again the challenge is keep your technique good while being relaxed and flowing.

It was a great class and I walked out of with a lot to reflect on and having had a lot of fun.

We started with light rolling (positons only) for the warm up… and then kept rolling for the rest of the class. Awesome fun! There were a lot of tired looking people at the end.

here’s some photos.

Sorry, I couldn’t make it to this class. But asI left they were doing more takedowns from the clinch…. awesome! You and I should have been there…
