twice the father...

Hi Everyone, Just thought I'd let you all know my 2nd son Evan was born today... he is huge Amanda and I are really proud!

Waiting...

Today my wife is 3 days overdue with our second child... waiting can be pretty hard, but I know we are going to have another little champion. Nearly 3 years ago we waited 13 days past our due date for our first born and now we are waiting again... the wait though, I know will be worth it!

One Step Forward

Bit of a surprise,

Tonight on the mat Adam surprised me by awarding me my first brown stripe, one closer to brown belt. Wasn't expecting that, so now I guess it is time to really step up!

Of course just to remind me of why I train and what BJJ is all about one of our white belts tapped me with a cradle choke tonight, that really makes me happy.

Fun times...

It turns out that playing guard is harder to do when your opponent is striking....

I was just working towards an armbar that would have made Sergio Penha proud and then... BOOOMMM!!! my opponent was out, what an escape!

2010 Inter Gracie Championship

I recently competed in a Submission Wrestling Tournament in Sydney. I got a silver medal in the Light Heavy weight division. It was a great day, I have included a clip here of one of my bouts. I was paying particular attention to the clinch aspect in this amtch as I have been doing a light of private training on my wrestling and judo recently. I also got to showcase my leg lock game as well which was a lot of fun.
