Awesome Training today, we had a new guest join us this evening but it was definitely a schedule conflict since one of ours members was going over his test material. But other than that all was well. We reviewed all of the 8th kyu material and test requirements and reviewed some basic taihenjutsu, and taisabaki. Loving these last few days of summer. I have a feeling the weather will be coming soon and we will back to indoor training for the winter.

Best Ice Bucket Challange Yet !

Rener Gracie performs the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in a Gracie Breakdown. As usual it is pretty funny

Guess what? Training day - Today was great training, we started out by leaping in with both feet to the kihon happo. We have been studying various aspects of omote gyaku over the last few months and really had some great randori in training with it today, we covered static omote, grabbing from a punch and the wrist escape version. We then trained in Shito no Waza from the Shoden no Gata scroll of the Koto Ryu Koppojutsu which includes defense of a hon jime (collar choke) a koppo ken to the kasumi (temple) and a omote gyaku to the ground. It was great training in that everyone did a great job and was very fluid with the technique after the last few months of training.  No video for today :(

Metamoris 4 !!! is today check it out at the link below and stream live for some awesome no points submissions only jiu jitsu. After watching it my favorite match was Saulo Ribiero v. Roderigo Medeiros, reminded me of an old school judo match as they were in full gi and a majority of the match was grip fighting while standing with a few amazing throws.
