Update (15/10/14) - WJJE, 10 Years of BJJ, 2009 Welsh Open, Interviews & Gi-Soap

Last week didn't exactly go to plan... As you might know, last week I promised two things, a review of the World Jiu-Jitsu Expo (WJJE) and the second part of my Saviour Tea review. Sadly, neither of them was published. So, why? Well, the review of the WJJE was being written and I did a few of them but then looking at the card, I didn't feel that I could provide a decent write up due to me not knowing enough about some of the athletes. Obviously, some of them I could do easily but...

Update (08/10/14) - A Short Update

Today is going to be a relatively short update post.

However, this week, I will be talking about the superfights at the World Jiu-Jitsu Expo. There are 10 matches scheduled for the event, so it should be a decent sized post.

My Thoughts on Metamoris 5

So, today I thought I would do something a little different. I want to give you guys my thoughts on the up and coming Metamoris 5 event which is taking place on Saturday, November 22 in Southern California. According to the website, the venue is still being decided.  Now, I'm a big fan of grappling superfights. Personally, I prefer them under IBJJF rules rather a submission only setting,...

Update (03/10/14) - Metamoris 5, World Jiu-Jitsu Expo, Saviour Tea & Sponsors!

I promise something and you get nothing... Yeah, I have a habit of promising things and never following them up. However, the Saviour Tea review will be done by Sunday. Usually, when I plan to do something things change and I have to reschedule my original plans. This is what happened in this circumstance. Again, I apologise and unless my house burns down this weekend, the review will be done this Sunday. I haven't got much to talk about this week, but I have a few ideas which I...
