The Road to the Europeans

 Today marks the first day of my training schedule for the European BJJ Championships. A trip to Lisbon at the weekend to help Florin (pictured below) in the Portuguese BJJ Open has motivated and prompted me get in shape for January.

I'll be fighting at minus 76kg with the GI. I'm currently weighing in at 72kg. All I have to do is concentrate on my technique, game-plan & fitness.

Last year I got silver and next year I hope to go one step further and get GOLD!

Early Doors Surfing...........

Today I went for an early surf, or as Tony calls it "early doors" and I mean early! Champagne Tony picked me up with school teacher Pedro and we drove to Vale de Figuera on a beautiful early Summers morning. The surf was a bit crazy for me but had a go. Tony and Pedro caught a couple, but the fun bit was the drive home and story time by Tony!
