Roger Gracie Seminar

So yesterday at Andy Roberts BJJ academy, we had a special seminar with the one and only Roger Gracie!
It was set up for the Army and Navy and then open for a few ARBJJ students and I am so HAPPY I went!

I wish I took more photos but I won't lie I was more interested in learning what Roger had to offer.

We did a few drills on take downs and side control along with triangles, Kimuras, Arm bar (which was so awesome I will be trying it out)

It was also quiet exceptional that there were 3 black belts under one roof; Roger, Andy and Nick who runs Mill Hill BJJ Academy.
Nick is a one degree black belt, he was such a lovely guy who has so much technique and understanding and has spent time with myself and Beth helping us out and using me as a body (which I haven't had done before by a blackbelt) There is a HUGE difference in how someone at a lower level teaches, seriously, he was helping us out with the Kimura and I tapped before he even put it on but because he had my arm so close and tight it was already coming on.... WAS AWESOME!
I didn't really understand how much of an honour it was yesterday to roll with someone of Nicks accomplishments. WOW. I should of grabbed a photo!


Well I already can't wait for the next seminar! I was in two minds about it but its really helped me out in my knowledge and what more can I say... I was taught by the GREAT Roger Gracie.






Thanks
