Hi everyone,
The AGC Invitational 2 is coming up this weekend and I'll be representing Toa BJJ and Absolute MMA in the heavy weight bracket.
This show is looking to be even better than the last one. Both the light weights and heavy weights will have some awesome grappling matches. There are still some tickets available but they are going quick.

See you there!

Monday and Wednesday, as well as the kids classes, are cancelled this week starting the 24th. Thursday and Tuesday will be taken by my Judo coach James Chirgwin. He’ll be teach some great techniques that I don’t teach much so it’s definitely an opportunity to pick up some new tricks. Classes are back to normal on the Saturday 30th.
If you train with me then you probably know I like repetitions. We train a lot of techniques and we need some time to consolidate the techniques we've already learned and sharpen the techniques we're already good at.
To help with this we're adding some time to jump on the mats, grab a partner, and get repetitions of techniques you want to learn or improve on. If people are making the most of this we can increase the time as well.
Friday 6:30pm - 7:00pm
See you on the mats!
From the 24th to the 29th of June classes will be limited as Head coach, Alex, will be away. Judo coach, James will take over some lessons but just be aware you might no be able to train as normal. Keep an eye out for follow up posts when we finalise which lessons will be cancelled.
Unfortunately the kids classes, both Wednesday and Thursday, won't run. We'll look into either extending a class into the holidays or adding an extra class to make up for it though.
We'll be springing back to action on the 30th though! A bit like this Lachie guy :)
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. See you on the mats.
The kids have been training really hard and it's starting to pay off as we have had our first round of belt promotions. Tia, Allegra, Archie, Ashton and Rowan have all been turning up and training hard and have earned the grey belts without a doubt. There are still a few more belts to hand out and more to come in the future.
Congratulations to those who were awarded belts and keep training hard to everyone else. You're all on the right track.
Great first competition for James Chirgwin. He had great throws and subs all day long. Classic James, he had a slow start in the Gi losing his first 2 matches in the round robin and winning the next 2, he didn't make it through to the finals. In the No-Gi he was more relaxed and comfortable and submitted everyone to win gold.
As always we'll be working on some minor techniques and adjustments on the backside of this comp which will have a big impact on the results next time around.
Get some rest and great work bro!
As planned the schedule has changed up for a rest day before Judo. Saturday classes are also 30 minutes later. You can check the whole schedule here: https://www.toabjj.com.au/schedule/
See you on the Mats!
Well done to all those in the Toa BJJ kids classes. We had a great term and everyone worked really hard. We can't wait for term 2 to start on 2nd of May. Don't forget to keep an eye out for the announcement for another kids class and possibly the parent-child class.
Well done. Keep up the great work everybody!
