BJJ Kabul, Camp Eggers

Im heading to portugal tomorrow.

Hey team, I made it to Kandahar safe and sound. Keep working the windshield wiper movements this week and train hard.

CONGRATULATIONS to Alex on your promotion to BLue Belt tonight. Alex has been part of the team since we atarted and his dedication to training and his teamates was well recognized tonight. Good Job Brother!

Great job James on pushing yourself through a tough grind tonight! Welcom to the team Brother. Thanks to Bill from Rajani Gear for donating the gi James earned tonight.

Another great send off for our teammate and BJJ brother Jason last night. We wish him well in the frozen north.

I was happy to see some great teamwork in class tonight, keep it up guys. Remember that tomorrow we will be puting Joe and James throught the grinder for a gi.

We are sad to see Marizzio leave us tonight. He has been a a good friend, teammate and BJJ Brother. i look foward to visiting him in Italy.

In other news: We have been working some exciting gi choke combinations this week! Keep up the good work guys and remember drill, drill and drill some more.

We had a few new faces on the matts tonight, welcome. On the other side tomorrow will be Dean's last night with us so lets give him a good send off as well as pushing Marizzio and Raj to their limits during their grind for a gi.

We need to do a "Grind for your Gi" night for Marizzio and Raj soon. Anyone else who wants to knock it out the same night let me know. Im looking at this Friday 20 July.
