chaz thommo   10 #25 Posted October 6, 2009 First beginner session in the new format last night and it was a good session.  Onewheeldave it's a great time to start now as John has started to use the full Gracie Barra fundamentals programme so you'll have the benefit of learning the basics and getting to know the game inside out early on. Another good thing John does is make all the blue and purple belts who attend pair up with the white belts so you're almost getting one to one tuition if your lucky.  The final thing is the lack of ego on the mat, no one get's carried away and it's a good atmosphere to learn in without getting hurt.  Hope to see you tomorrow or Thursday.  Russ   Totally agree with Russ. The new format is much more involved and the experienced guys really help. The one on one training i had with John, Russ, Pete and Lanky Rob really helped last night. This club is the mutts nuts.  chaz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

onewheeldave   22 #28 Posted October 7, 2009 Do beginners need their own Gi to come to the first session, or are there spare jackets to use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
themadrev   10 #29 Posted October 7, 2009 You don't need a gi. There's loads of spare jackets. I'm going tomorrow night as I missed class tonight due to work. So, if you are there please introduce yourself. Noel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Horus   10 #34 Posted October 8, 2009 Ah yeah I think I remember. You want to get down to the fundamentals classes mate. As Noel says there are loads of gi jackets available and the gi game is similar to no gi, there's just more to hold on to. I understand a lot of people prefer no gi (I do myself) but working hard on your gi game will make you a better grappler all round (In spite of what Eddie Bravo might say:hihi:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
