Once again I have totally neglected the site and it's only when people come up to me in the club that know me from here that my mind turns to updating the content. When you do this for a career for a media company to come home and fire up your blog...especially after training too which is my escape from on line living...sometimes it's tough 

Anyhoo - I am going to endeavour to do the blog more often when I train as a way to remember all the moves we are learning. This post is longer than usual as I have a bit of catching up to do...so

The big news from May / June for me was I had to cancel attending Mundials and basically bench myself for a month due to a sick puppy. Good news is my dog  Leia is doing much better after she had a spinal stroke in May.

The Worlds, for Toronto BJJ, were very successful with 2 golds at blue belt level and 2 bronzes at blue belt level. So Kudos to Tommy, Melissa, Mikey and Nicole! It's truly amazing to have these guys and girls as team mates. Steel sharpens steel. Also...Tommy, Mikey and Ryan were recently promoted to Purple belt by Jorge.

June I was able to gradually get back training. My return was timely as we had the pleasure of having Royler Gracie do a seminar at Toronto BJJ which was followed by a week of training under Rafael Lovato Jnr.

April was a busy month in and around Toronto BJJ even after Copa Ontario finished up.

Andre Dida was getting ready to compete in K1 and with his brother Mauricio and Cosmo they unveiled their new Mauy Thai 'brand'  Evolucâo Muay Thai at the gradings which took place mid April...(Check the gallery for pics). This style of MT is more for MMA so you learn a more agressive style that is suited to the reality of being taken down and clinched etc.

Dida fought like a warrior losing a decsion over Buakaw Por Pramuck. If you want to peep the fight you do so here. Get K1 stuff here.
