Pretty good week

Thank you Yoshi Takano for grading me to Purple belt 1 stripe on Monday. Thanks to my students for helping me get to this level. We lift each other up as we climb. A huge thank you to my wife Sonya and my daughter Alexa for putting up with all my training. It will be worth it I promise. 

I was already having a good week so far with earning a stripe on my BJJ Purple belt from Yoshi Takano. Then today Maurie Staples came to training at the Napier Judo Club, fixes one of my throws and grades me and Hamish both to Blue belts in Judo. Thank you Coach Andrew Truman and Sensei Maurie Staples for investing the time and effort into me. Also thanks to all my training partners at the club for keeping me honest and my wife Sonya Perry and daughter Alexa for supporting me so much.

Yoshi "SAMURAI" Takano opening new Gym

My Brazilian Jiu Jitsu master, Yoshi "SAMURAI" Takano Is opening his new Gym in Nasushiobara-shi, Tochigi, Japan. If you are in this area you should go to his opening and take advantage of the free 1 week trial. It's the best thing you can do for yourself and those you love.http://www.facebook.com/events/145252035635396/
