Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Singapore

From Photographer to Champion (Silver Medalist)

2008-09-12T07:10:00.000-07:00

In the last competition, Luke was helping us to take photos for our academy. After watching a few grappling matches, he showed interest in competing, but worried that he would not be good enough. Few months later, he competed and did really well. He could have got Gold if not Tan Xing Hua, (Fellow member from the BJJ Sin) stopping him in the final. Well Done.

Professor Richard

2008-09-10T00:24:00.000-07:00

Richard may have got Bronze but the sacrifice he made for his fellow member is worth a Gold medal itself. Richard and Ben (fellow training member) have proceeded to meet each other in the semi final. Both not wanting to tire each other, Richard volunteered to bail out. Knowing Richard as a perfectionist and avid competitor, it is very very big sacrifice on his part. Good on ya!!!

Bronze (Novice No Gi under 77kg)

"WOW Gladiator"

2008-09-09T23:26:00.000-07:00

Well Done Ben!!! Finishing most of his fights with submissions and one with a spectacular arm bar. Again, this may not have been possile if not the sacrifice Richard made by bailing out from semi final against Ben.

Tan Xing Hua getting his gold medal for his category and only losing in a semi final in the absolute by an advantage. Those days in SOL has paid off. HAHAHA

Training with the Legends

2008-05-20T12:00:00.001-07:00

I had the luxury of training with these two champions privately. They showed me a bunch of great moves which I can definitely add to my game. The seminar was just as informative and insightful. Having to spend lots of time with them, I managed to get tons of information which would help me my understanding of BJJ.

Champions!!! Two golds and One Silver

2008-04-03T10:47:00.001-07:00

Our guys did very well at a local BJJ Competition Lordz Of Pain. Winning two golds and one silver. Here the details:

White Belt 66 kg (Gold)

James took home the Gold by submitting all his opponents and taking the final with a "Flying Armbar".

White Belt 88 kg (Gold)

Marc, despite the age of 42, submitted all his opponents except winning the final by points.

No Gi 66 Kg (Silver)

Ian amazed us by getting into the final only to be beaten by points. Not bad for a guy who trained only for three months.

White Belt 77 Kg

Farhan won his very first fight by ten points but lost in the second round to a tough opponent.

No Gi 66kg

Alex was ahead by points from a beautiful takedown but was caught in a well planned triangle choke at the end of the round.

Nevertheless, a job well done guys. You guys made us proud.

Video of the fights will be posted later in the week.

CONGATULATIONS!!!!
