After seminar

The last week of September 2009 was really an excellent 7 days for KLN BJJ.

We had Ken from Angra Tokyo, Prof. Ikuta from Trust Jiujitsu and Makoto Ogasawara from Taiwan BJJ! Thank you very much for teaching us and your friendship.

We are a bit confused at the moment coz we were taught too many techniques and concepts in such a short period! KLN guys, I have taken movies and notes, so lets train together and make sure to try all of the techniques. We have enough homework to fulfill rest of the year!!

Also, Macau trip with about 20 members were so much fun!!! (but really tired...). Reminded a high school activity, haha!! Thanks Gus for organising AOW event and providing special arrangement for us!

Oh, remember. We'll have "Rodo" from this week!
Thank you all and see you on the mat!

On 26th, a big group (18 members) from KLN BJJ went to Macau to watch AOW14, cheering our friends Vaughn and Andy from Taiwan BJJ.It was an exciting event with lots of fun! Moreover, we have met the "legend" Royce Gracie, Ralph Gracie, Wndarei Silva and Bass Rutten. Royce and Ralph were especially nice guys and had nice talking in the party afterwards. He is going to Philippines and Thailand for seminar in a month. For details, check out http://www.bjj-asia.com/

Old friend's visit

Its always the best pleasure to see friends from old days.

He used to fight in Australian Spartan MMA and became light weight champion while he was in Australia.
