I just wanted to share with you some comments posted to Facebook last night after class. I'm hearing talk while at class about 'being high from training like this'. We are being pushed and everybody is loving it.

I once had the idea of replacing Kettle Bells with 4L Juice Containers and perhaps market them as 'Ghetto Bells' but I didn't think there would be a place that would accept these cost effective pieces of weight training equipment as legit.

Until now.

Training is picking up and it feels good to be gradually building things back to full speed. Professor Britto has organized a team training schedule and those classes have been pretty high intensity as we get ready for the upcoming competition season.

I have had the pleasure of training with Paulo Guillobel on a few occasions here in Toronto. He is the guy who gave me the encouragement to go for the flying armbar (which I am still working on).

Paulo is a World Champion No Gi 2008, 3 Times Pan American Champion: 2010, 2006 and 2003 and 4th Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The man behind Guillobel Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy in San Clemente (and the DVD Advanced NOGI Guard Techniques) is part of the Riberio Jiu Jitsu family and has a FREE video for you to download. All that is required is to subscribe to one of his 5 Newsletters and within a few clicks you get a free 24 minute movie to download in your email.
