Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training in Edinburgh
Good afternoon everyone !
I've not long awoken from a wonderful lie-in, which was required after yesterday's training - my instructors, the boys from the club and myself all went to train with Sensei Rick Young in Edinburgh.
"EPIC" is the key word ! It's plain to see why the man is a world champion in Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu when you see him applying techniques and manuevers but even more so when he demonstrates them on you - he is yet more living proof that constant and intelligent training really pays off.
We spent most of the time going over technique, and I actually managed to take most of it in - it's definately made a change to my ground game and for the better ! Sensei Rick was asking if we had anything that we wanted him to cover - I'm obviously only a light person, so I asked him to cover ground techniques to subdue stockier folk as I'm obviously not going to be able to rely upon my body mass. After several hours of that, we did some sparring - got to roll with one of my instructors as well, which was epic. I'm improving ! All in all, well worth waking up at 7AM for and now looking forward to the Kettlebell seminar !
