Wrestling Is Back !

Hi everyone,

Wrestling class is back this week.

The class will be on Thursday nights from 8-10 not on Mondays as previously mentioned.

This class is highly recommended especially for those of you that want to do competitions due to the takedowns.

As you are probably aware you start from standing in competition so this class will be of great benefit.

Hope to see you there.

Wrestling Class

Hi guys don't forget Thursday night is wrestling class. Usual time 8-10.

For anyone that competes this class is well worth coming along to as it helps with the start of a BJJ match with is always from the stand up position. The knowledge and confidence from the stand up you gain from this class make it a must. Also some of the ground moves can be used in BJJ as well.

Don't forget any Edmoton members are welcome along as well.

Hope to see some of you on the mat tonight.

Of the 6 that competed they returned with the following results.

Dave Oakes - SILVER

Hafiz was very unfortunate in his fight and lost narrowly to the eventual GOLD medal winner.

Well done Dave for his 1st medal at purple belt in only his 2nd time competing at purple.

5 medals from 6 competitors is an excellent return. Well done to all the guys that competed.

Arlans was very pleased with the performance of the team.

Once again, well done everyone.

Tonight's Class & A Request From Enzo

Chaps,

Tonights Class

Training tonight is cancelled, in previous years the roads around the hall have become pretty dnagerous as the snow turns to ice when the temperature drops at night.

Request from Enzo

By Thursday, hopefully the snow should have gone, and I would like as many of you at training as possible as Arlans is coming and I would like to take some team photos. Even if you are currently injured, or have not been training in a while please come down as it would be nice to have you all in the photo.

It would also be great to have any of the Edmonton boys that train with us also come for the photo.

Cheers

Enzo
