I’d like to say the reason I haven’t really been writing much is because I’ve been coming up with this super duper absolutely ass kicking new piece. But the truth is, I’ve just been busy.
In the last few weeks I’ve had guys competing all over the world in BJJ tournaments. For starters, a friend of mine, Sophie McDermott, won the No Gi World Championship!
Sophia McDermott winning the world champs
Sophie has been on the scene for about 8 years in BJJ. She has been training with the best in the world and is the first female to ever be accepted to train at Rickson Gracie’s. Look out for my interview with her to be featured in an upcoming Oxygen magazine where we go over her competition career, diet and training.
On top of that we have just had the ADCC Gi trials here. With only 7 spots up for grabs – 2 female and 5 male – the guys from Dominance Mixed Martial Arts won 2 of them! With two other competitors making the final the results of dedicated competition practice are already showing themselves. Next year will see some massive changes in the way our academy approaches tournaments based on the success we have already had in the last few months.
I am also hard at work getting Dragon Door Australia up and running. Starting any new business is never easy, but I believe in the products having used them with such great results both personally and with my clients. To read the kind of thing people say about working with an RKC go here: http://www.dragondoor.com/instructor/1720
The new website for all Dragon Door products will be located here: www.dragondooraustralia.com Our first order of books and dvd’s will be available soon and we expect our kettlebells before Christmas.
The new HQ for Dragon Door Australia
Obviously I am also busy training my clients, performing my own training (can barely walk thanks to a new squat specialisation program) and fitting out my new space which will be the HQ of Dragon Door Australia. It is located upstairs at 555 Victoria Street, Richmond. From here I will be able to train people and house all the books, DVD’s and kettlebells required.
Next year is going to be very exciting. With a new business – both PT and retail – along with two trips to the US to attend various courses I’ll barely have time to scratch myself. But just to make things a bit more complicated I plan to bring one of the best kettlebell instructors in the world, Senior RKC Shaun Cairns, to Australia to host a series of HKC’s. (For information on the HKC go here: http://www.dragondoor.com/hkc/hkc015.html). The HKC is a one day, 3 lift instructor certification. It is not a watered down RKC rather an eye opener for people who may be hesitant to commit to the rigours of RKC training – its nr everyone – but see the value in a shorter course to learn the principles of safe, hardstyle training and want to learn from the best kettlebell instructors in the world.
So everything is just great, sorry for not getting more words down sooner, but life has been hectic. I am hoping that now my office is set up I will have time during the day again to work on various online projects such as this.
With Christmas just around the corner I urge everyone to keep up their training, don’t get sloppy over the holidays and ruin all your good work. For anyone who wants a kick in the butt check this out: fat loss redux 2
