Hello all, I can confirm that i am opening an Extreme Jiu Jitsu & Grappling School in Ringwood, Melbourne this month.
As many of you know i have been keeping quiet for a couple of years with my other committments but I've finally arranged my life so that i can get back to some serious training.
I'm really keen to build up a good competition team and develop some good grapplers in Melbourne's East.
Anyone who would like some more specific details can call me, 0407351486
Bernie used to teach a lot of the classes back in the Rock Climbing Centre
and Kensington stars days for JBW, he was a great coach and very
attentive to all the students. Hope the club does well.
Junior (Lee Johnson) was one of the scariest guys on the Kensington mat, I heard he left the SOG, not sure what he's doing now???
He's also famous for leaving a perfect imprint of himself and Chris Chalmers on the Burswood Casino's manicured lawn after suplexing Chris in a drunken episode while in Perth for the first ever BJJ comp in 1996. Nice work!

I want to thank everybody who has posted and contacted me with such positive responses. It's great that the BJJ community is so supportive regardless of which school they come from, the number of calls i've been getting has been overwhelming. Looks like were going to startwith some good numbers of both experienced grapplers and beginners alike. Because of this i urge anyone thinking of turning up to call me beforehand to ensure you get in. Mob.0407351486
thanks again, Bernie
