🥋 BIG COACHING NEWS AT CHIMERA! 🥋
We’re very excited to welcome Mark Lobwein to the Chimera coaching team!
Mark is a highly experienced and well-regarded Australian BJJ black belt who recently moved to Stirling. He’s currently training full-time at the Griphouse while preparing for the World Championships — and from this Tuesday, he’ll be taking our Tuesday evening Gi class.
As a Gi specialist, Mark brings a huge amount of knowledge and experience to the mats, and we’re delighted to have him joining the team.
🔥 And there’s more…
This Thursday, black belt Gary Priestly kicks off his No-Gi coaching journey with us, adding another hugely experienced coach to the weekly timetable.
And of course, our regular Sunday No-Gi class with Andrew continues as normal — another key part of what is becoming a seriously strong weekly BJJ programme at Chimera.
🥋 Tuesday — Gi with Mark
🤼 Thursday — No-Gi with Gary
🔥 Sunday — No-Gi with Andrew
Three coaches. Three quality sessions. A very exciting week for Chimera. 👊
We’ve taken our time finding the right coaches to help move the club forward, and we genuinely believe we now have a fantastic team in place.
A massive thank you as well to our senior coloured belts who stepped up, supported classes and kept everything moving while we worked things out behind the scenes. That’s what a real team looks like. ❤️
