Congratulations to Mark on his marriage to Erin.

Warren was lucky enough to head to Geelong with GroundControl Coach Andrew Craven to learn some goodness from Head Coach John B Will.

He has bought back some awesome treats for us all.  Big thanks to John Will for sharing the treats!

Here is a photo of Warren with Jimmy from the Geelong Cats

Saturday saw a team from Takapuna Submission venture out to the wild west to compete at the NZ Grappler competition held at the Te Atatu Peninsula Community Centre,

Our Team had a hugely successful day with nearly everyone taking something home.  Nick Allan fought in one of the most skilled divisions on Saturday having his first match against a Brown Belt Gareth Burke.

We were lucky enough to witness Southern Tribes head Pina Simpson receive his Black Belt as well.

Thanks to Steve and the crew for hosting a great comp.

4 years ago Glen Tarrant left the shores of Auckland and ventured down to Porirua and set up shop.  Wednesday evening Porirua had a celebration of sorts which saw Geoff Grant (GSW Black Belt) head out to this occaision and presented Andrew Douglas with his Purple Belt (First one for Porirua) and David Savage with his Blue Belt.  A great night was had by all.

Congratulations to our crew who caught some new belts on Saturday.

John Lamb – Purple Belt

Serina Cole – Blue Belt

Jesse Evans – Blue Belt

Nick Allan – Blue belt

Andy Spencer – Blue Belt

All well deserved!

Jason got gold in the Under 90 no Gi and Silver in the under 110 Gi.

Wade got Bronze in the under 90 no Gi.

Will won both his first fights in the Gi and no Gi, but lost his second Gi fight by way of armbar, tweaked his elbow enough to be out for the rest of the day.

Brendan had some big fights in the 110 kg divisions for both Gi and no Gi, unfortunately no wins, but fantastic experience.

For the record, proud of the crew and the greater Will / Machado family, excellent attitude displayed by all.

Congrats to all our guys/gals that entered!

Bevan Brooking – 1st in white belt weight division – 3rd in Open white belt
