I wanted to remind everyone of Lovato's BJJ tournament on March 5th. This is a gi only tournament. If you need any more details please go to lovatojiujitsu.com We are expecting a great showing. See everyone there.
Great tournament. A lot of tough compeditors there this time. Things moved in a very timely manner.
SWEET live two man simulated instruction from the sidelines by one of the coaches. Think I may bring a tv/vcr combo to the next event and watch my Mario Sperry "Master Series" tapes as I roll. See if that helps any.
Any results?
you need all the help you can get. lol j/k
The video may not help either. Tae Bo looks more promising every day!
Thanks to everyone who was able to make it. We had a great showing and there were many great matches. Congratulations to the Lovato team for taking home the team title.
That was me doing the coaching from the sidelines. I just want to make sure my guys do great.
