Complex Training

One of the things that Denis Kang and George St. Pierre do are circuits which incorporate heavy low-repetition exercises (like weighted pullups) followed by explosive plyometric movements (like medicine ball slams). This combination of weight training and plyometrics is called 'complex training' and looks like a lot of hard work!!!!!

Extreme Gradings

Attended my second grading last night with big Rick and a mate who tagged along for a look. Rick and I didn't do the gradings due to a dodgy back and knee respectively however we were still thrilled to a part of the night. Jeroen got his third stripe, Jason his purple, Dave got his blue and Nhial and Chris picked up another stripe each. It was pretty cool to see all of the Extreme Instructors on the mat and even better when Coach gave each of them their Black Belts!!! First time he's ever given out black belts and 4 to boot!!!! With all the new colours given out we should have a huge showing at the Pan Pacs this year! What I wouldn't give to see Chris BROWN and Bernie Jenkins getting amongst the black belts out there....

Well done to all who graded and if anyone from Ringwood ar Chadstone, or Interstate for that matter reads this, we've got plenty of room for you on the mat in Mornington!!

Mornington Judo Club

I took some more video footage of my son, Grant and his mates at Judo training. He really lives for it and can't wait for Wednesday training nights to roll on!! I walked around the mat and took a bit of footage of as many of the kids as I could. There's some spirited pushing and pulling and some nice techniques amongst them all. They are a credit to their coach 5th Dan Michael PICKEN and I've seen Grant improve and grow in confidence since he has been training. You'll notice a bit of BJJ in his ground work which is from him watching us train and I've picked up a few throwing tips that I've tried in competition as well!
Keep up the good work kids!!!
