Class #282RGA High Wycombe, (BJJ), Kev Capel, High Wycombe, UK - 02/02/2010Kev went over some points about maintaining the mount to begin the lesson, commenting that shifting to technical mount is a good option if they being to escape. He also noted that if they manage to get their knee through and under your leg, [...]
Class #281RGA High Wycombe, (BJJ), Kev Capel, High Wycombe, UK - 02/02/2010Two great posts on the BJJ blogosphere recently. First one is NinjaEditor interviewing BJJ Grrl, running through the typical list of questions that might be on the mind of a woman looking to get on the mats for the first time. Secondly, fellow UK [...]
*Boxing note: First, let me say that I am and always will be a major Roy Jones, Jr. fan. I think Antonio Tarver just had Roy’s number and if it would have been earlier in Jones’ career he would have destroyed Tarver. That being said, you couldn’t help but enjoy Tarver’s taunt of Roy Jones [...]
I just bumped into these videos tonight. Jeff Glover, Budovideos and Nogi have teamed up to create a small 20 minute show called Glover’s Travels. It is a entertaining and pretty laid back show with interviews, technique and BJJ action w/top level grapplers. Above is Ep.1, part 2.
This is probably one of the saddest moments in my BJJ life. A lot of people have been switching teams lately, but I have a bunch of guys whom I used to think would be the last people to leave our team. They are like brothers to me, and we happily laugh on and off [...]
Article #10, by Can Sönmez [FAQ Entry]As far as I’m aware, the idea of using belts to reflect rank was first popularised by Jigoro Kano, who is easily among the most important figures in modern martial arts. According to JudoInfo, Kano’s senior students began wearing black belts in 1886, signifying their higher status. It [...]
Night Class – Wednesday
The academy was packed. About 20 people were in the boxing room and 30 to 40 training in the Muy Thai/Kickboxing class. I observed for about 15 minutes before BJJ class and briefly chatted with Josh and Polar Bear.
Class began with a light jog, shrimping and a few rolls. Then it became [...]
Class #280RGA High Wycombe, (BJJ), Matty Burn, High Wycombe, UK - 28/01/2010Kev is away competing at the European Championships this weekend. I’ve seen that tournament getting a fair bit of criticism on forums, but nevertheless, it is still the most prestigious BJJ event easily reachable from the UK. Then again, the arguments about organisational problems [...]
I have started embracing sweaty men again, as of last week. I spent over five (5) months of BJJ holiday, from the time when my interest in training started waning up to the time when I actually stepped off the mat. I am happy to be back.
During the first week, I was sore all [...]
The fluid nature of their grappling is amazing!
*The funny thing about this video is that no one in the background is paying them any attention.
Class #279RGA High Wycombe, (BJJ), Kev Capel, High Wycombe, UK - 26/01/2010Not content with being one of the greatest bloggers to ever sit behind a keyboard, Matt from Martial Farts has now set his sights on mastering the video camera too. He’s been doing his Grappling Dummies series for a while, but the latest edition [...]
Class #278RGA High Wycombe, (BJJ), Kev Capel, High Wycombe, UK - 26/01/2010My old instructor, who is also the guy who gave me my blue belt, Jude Samuel, has recently started up his own gym. Jude is an awesome teacher, so if you’re near Bethnal Green and want to learn from one of the best black [...]
(1/25/10 6:30pm) BJJOne of the odd things about training in a gym that has yet to open is the fact that most every night is like open mat. For me this proved to be a very good thing as I am still nursing my shoulder and back…back to health. The pain all day had been [...]
Finally, I finished editing.
This is a whole new version of Grappling Dummies, my ersatz video blog chronicling my living and training BJJ in Japan. Bigger, better, longer, more awesome, and with completely legal, Creative Commons licensed music! It’s a proper BJJ variety show.
This is the start of what will be a long-running series on BJJ and grappling [...]
Florida, like most of the U.S., is experiencing mind-boggling temperatures. One day it’s hot and the next day it’s cold. I think this had something to do with the classroom temperature on Friday. It wasn’t exactly scorching inside but it felt ’swamp-like.’
Warm-ups consisted of a light jog, rolls, shrimping and stretching. In drills we worked [...]

The lovely amazing and incredibly lucky but probably very hard-working people Esther and Casey at All Elbows sent me one of their t-shirts. It’s wicked! Nice and soft with a colourful, completely non-skull/blood/death related print on the front. Why don’t you just buy one right the hell now, bumface?!
Beautiful. The shirt, I mean. Not my [...]
Training at the new gym has been great. It has only been open for a week, and already people are coming to the classes.
I’ve been keeping things basic, teaching only the techniques I have practiced a thousand times, but I’m looking forward to stepping things up a little once people start coming regularly and getting [...]
I arrived at Burbank Airport after almost 12 hours of travel from the time I left my house. I immediately picked up my rental and drove down to New Breed Academy in Santa Fe Springs to train with Johnny Ramirez and crew. Johnny (of course) helped me a lot and then he and his girlfriend [...]

I love the way he wrote.Extinguish my sight, and I can still see you;plug up my ears, and I can still hear;even without feet I can walk toward you,and without mouth I can still implore.Break off my arms, and I will hold youwith my heart as if it were a hand;strangle my heart, and my [...]
