So did the grading happen then? The comp should be next week, hows your preparation been going?
Haha! I'm doing good, which is more than can be said for everyone that showed up to the Saturday morning class. I wound up taking it again...
Interesting...a Canadian guy has just started training with us in the last few weeks. You wouldn't know anything about this, would you? :thinking:
Are you in the glass room behind Reception then? Nice location! Though it gets pretty hot in the Summer. What nights are you on? I...
You aren't allowed to wear a box in Judo competition, slightly scary, but true fact.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the BJJ is on at the Kelvin Hall anymore. I think the Griphouse is pretty much your only option for BJJ in...

Ah, you boys know a good beer when you see one. Deuchars IPA is my new favourite beer, knocking it's sister brew, Caledonian 80 shilling off the...
The interclubs I've done have been about sparring, not fighting. If this is the case, then treat it as a hard sparring session. If you come out...
