Training Plan for the Summer Camp

Finally I got my hands on the training plan for the BJJ Summer Camp of Braulio and Victor Estima 

I am really looking forward to training a lot this week, all in all it is going to be 15 hours of BJJ Gi and No-Gi training and I hope that this will take my game to an other level and that i can profit a lot from the skills of Braulio and his brother.

There will also be some recreational activities and I am really looking forward to meeting other BJJers from around the glob - allthough I am guessing that the vast majority will be out of U.K.

Competing to prepare for the Euros

As I stated in my first post and also in the name of the Blog, my goal is to compete at next years European Chamionship in Portugal and eventually win the gold medal in my class. 

So as it would not be a bright idea to just go to the Euros and compete, with no competition experience before hand, I decided to draw up a competition plan and do at least five competitions before next year. Here is what I will try to do:

1. Bavarian Cup BJJ an No-GI Tournament Round 1 in Ansbach (7th of July 2012)

2. Bavarian Cup BJJ an No-GI Tournament Round 2 in Ansbach (4th of August 2012)

3. Bavarian Cup BJJ an No-GI Tournament Round 3 in Ansbach (1st of September 2012)

4. West Germany Championships in BJJ (BJJBD) at Prüm (6th to 7th of October 2012)

5. International German Championships XII in BJJ (BJJBD) at Neuried (24th to 25th of November 2012)

As the Euros will be a Gi-Tournament I will mostly focus on that, but also gonna compete at the No-Gi ones were possible. 

I hope this will give me a little groove when it comes to competing, and will decrease the jitters a bit.

Shoyoroll Kimonos

So when it comes to Kimonos I am pretty addicted to the Shoyoroll ones. I have only owned one other Gi, which was the Tatami Estillo Primero and then got into Shoyoroll. As you can see on the picture below, I own quite a few at the moment and I think I wont be buying any other ones soon - okay maybe the "RIO KOY" ;)

My newest ones are the first Albino & Preto and the Shoyoroll Count Gi. I guess I will be reviewing thoes two after I have trained a bit in them. So far the YANK and MAMBA are my favouirte Gis to train in. 

Have a good start into the week and IN GUARD WE TRUST!
