Tapping like Riverdance: November 2009
http://jadonbjj.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, 29 November 2009. Training and catch up. Been busy the last 2 weeks so not as much training as I would like. On the plus side Im now Archery leader qualified under GNAS. Archery and BJJ? Why not. Im also now riding a motorbike, a brand spanking new Yamaha 125YBR. My first vehicle of any kind so have been trying to gets to grips with that. Lots of adventures already. Cardio has dipped slightly from the break but am feeling alright. Have a private with Andy that Ive had since April! Posture posture...

Tapping like Riverdance: May 2009
http://jadonbjj.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, 28 May 2009. Judo and new things at Andy Roberts Farnborough. Couldnt make the stop in Birmingham in the end, so gonna try do another London excursion and hopefully make 2 in a day. I have a tendency to go down with my opponent after a throw, as I like to follow through with the momentum and knock the wind out of them. But in a BJJ sense this occasionally means my momentum carries me to far and I end up giving up back as a reward for the throw! Enjoyed the class a massively and would be happy t...

Tapping like Riverdance: March 2009
http://jadonbjj.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, 30 March 2009. The great BJJ pigrimage and other news. This whole thing is further made more possible by the legendary Slideyfoot who has created a BJJ map of the UK! Which really puts the whole thing into perspective, its around 150 clubs strong. See the map here. Im still trying to work out some idea's to maybe get some sort of funding for the travel, or maybe sports relief sponsorship. Andy had a great idea about doing a T shirt as well with all the clubs on the back (band tour stylee). Taught...

Tapping like Riverdance: February 2009
http://jadonbjj.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 17 February 2009. De la riva massacres small defenceless orphans. Best of the comp by far but I had to disqualify him for “bad manners” as we say in the orphanage. We all laughed though and he was happy enough with the throw. Next lesson I decide to work on some of the mistakes I saw common in their matches. On holding guard, stand up passing, counter/sweep to stand up pass and grip fighting. Links to this post. Wednesday, 4 February 2009. Lets talk jiu jitsu though. Sit up sweep goes with kimura.

Tapping like Riverdance: April 2009
http://jadonbjj.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 29 April 2009. My friend Terry was awesome enough to take me to another club he had trained at previously. Run by blackbelt Steve Haydock, which recently joined the carlson gracie family. Check their website out. The lesson focused on chokes from the back - more details on that later. All in all a great class, Steve is a really cool guy and these guys train hard. Again I would reccomend this club. I need to find some man drama or this will make for a boring final write up! Links to this post.

Thursday, 28 January 2010. Jiu jitsu brotherhood wisdom. To maximize your potential as a jiu-jitsoka, it’s not enough to just head to class every day and go through the motions. You need to approach your training from several angles. Very interesting concept from Nicolas Gregoriades who has just stuck it up on his website: Jiu jitsu brotherhood. Matt Benyon over at Martial farts. Links to this post. Monday, 18 January 2010. Now thats more like it. Private wise I didnt cover anything really specific just ...

Tapping like Riverdance: Good vibes
http://jadonbjj.blogspot.com/2010/02/good-vibes.html
Saturday, 20 February 2010. Ive been stuffing my face with pizza and takeaway the last 2 weeks, felt abit shit at training (an incentive to eat well! But was mystified at somehow losing weight. Am now 67kg. Ive noticed two things of interest recently:. We put alot of effort into taking care of our physical health so that we can train but the mental aspects are just as important. If you attack every less experienced partner with the aim of submitting them as often and effortlessly as possible then you...
