Still hanging in....just!

Well four weeks in now and only missed one, which is good for me!  Training going well, could always do with more time on the mat but that goes without saying!
Good news though finally got a better fitting Gi!  Picked up a Battle Gear Soldier Kimono in A3, currently hanging dry now so here is a photo from the Battle Gear website:





The Gi is a much better fit at A3 though I was used to squeezing into my Strike Fightwear A2 so this felt big.  The quality is great and the value amazing at just £50!!!!  Worth noting that Battle Gear is an official sponsor of GF Team UK.

This week in training we went through berimbolo and it's variations, I had never practised this but had heard the term quite a bit.  I enjoyed the drills though I am still in the clumsy stage when attempting rolling over my shoulders and look like drunken ape!!
Here is a video of Rafael Mendes executing many a 'bolo:
