To get back into the swing of things, the entire month of January will be ‘open mat’ only, no structured classes except Rob’s on a Sunday.
This is your opportunity to grab someone, pick their brains and work on what YOU want to work on. You may have a specific topic you want to try, maybe you just want to spar, maybe you want to get the gloves on and see how your game works under pressure, it doesn’t matter as everyone can work what they like.
We do this occasionally and it usually works really well, it really helps to promote the TEAM aspect of the gym, everyone helps everyone else.

The Champions III
Congrats to Andy Krlic on his 2nd round submission in his MMA debut at the Champions III.
Taken from the report and background to fight which will follow shortly:
"After a few last words of encouragement and reminding Andy of plan A, he meets Paul in the middle of the ring and it’s on. A tentative start as both guys throw out some jabs then the inevitable clinch happens, Andy fighting to stay close and Paul trying to make some distance to strike with both guys having some success in a back and forth battle.
The round was getting into the later stages when Paul, using his height advantage, reached around Andy’s neck to take a guillotine as they went to ground. Andy pulled his head free, passed guard and took mount. From there he rained down some shots, keeping his position despite my best efforts screaming at Andy to take an arm as there was only 20 seconds left to go but he didn’t hear me over the crowd which was deafening. End of round 1.
Close round, depending on the judge, it could go either way. We need to stamp some authority on round 2.
Round 2 starts off as round 1 did, Paul throws some shots, a nice leg kick then goes straight to clinch again. Both guys now start to turn on the pressure, Paul, again with the height advantage, reached around for the guillotine as they went to ground. For the second time, Andy pulled his head free, passed guard and took mount. This time he was close enough to hear me shouting for the Americana which he took, getting the submission win half way through the second round".
