Good turnout at the seminar in Singapore tonight

Thanx to Aaron Koh for hooking up the Nogi grappling seminar.  Great turnout tonight; Gavin, Linus, Roy, Ong Hai, Lali, Daniel Chris, Kennedy, Kam Wing, Samuel, Stephen, Gene, Brayden, Joe Ray, John Jon….and a few others I forgot to mention.

The video camera I brought to record the seminar was left “On” in the camera bag…so when it became time to record—I didn’t have any power. (DOH-Homer Simpson voice)

went over a “nogi” specific armbar from the guard followed with several counters and transitions.  Overall we got in about 2 hours of training before calling it a night.

**Got a call from the promoter from Martial Combat–appears Chad Reiner’s flight has been delayed…and he requested a “catchweight” bout.  We declined the idea–Joe Ray had already went to the sauna to cut his weight for the noon weigh in’s tomorrow…and the fight is already at 80 kilos instead of Joe Ray’s usual fight weight of 77.  Will be interesting to see what weight Chad is walking around at when he arrives tomorrow.  He will be fighting only 9 days after he faces Joe Ray.
