Last Saturday we had the pleasure to have Prof. Garth Taylor at Bangkok BJJ. His seminar focused on takedowns, specifically the double and single leg takedowns. It was an awesome seminar and so much fun. I had been weary of takedowns since my shoulder injury, but now that it has recovered, everything was fine. I had  a lot of fun, particularly with double legs which has always been a favourite of mine. Prof. Taylor got into the details of each technique and it's often the little things that you change/do that make all the difference. This is what we really learnt at this seminar. Was to take something but really break it down, understand it amd drill, drill drill! It has been good as we have been drilling a lot in class as well.

Am gearing up for the competitions ahead this year. I am working with kettlebells and pilates for overall (core) strenght and running/jogging then jump rope for cardio. Nothing beats that for cardio! That I learnt from the Thai Boxers here :)

Many girlfriends are competing soon in  the Philipines and hopefully will have some pictures and things to share after. They are all training hard right now and want to send them all  the positive energy in the world :)

Here are some pics from our time with Prof. Taylor.
