Royce Gracie seminar

Royce Gracie Seminar

On Monday 28th April members of RGDA-Kent made the journey to RGDA H.Q for a 3 hr seminar with Royce Gracie.

The Seminar was good fun and an insight to all on what Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is all about. Following the Seminar Royce handed out 4 Blue Belts to members of RGDA-UK, and took the time to pose for the numerous photographs people were requesting.

So a Big THANK YOU to Royce and we hope to see you back sometime soon.

Royce Gracie Seminar

Guy's The Royce seminar is very close now and  I need a definite yes or no ASAP. The cost is £45 for 3 hours on Monday 28th April. I need to give Eddie the money for the seminar by Friday 25th April.

So if you could let me know this week and we can go from there.

This is a very good opportunity for you all to meet and train with a senior member of the Gracie family and is not to be missed.

See you on the mats.

More Stripes Awarded At RGDA-Kent

More stripes were awarded at last nights BJJ Class, RGDA-UK Head instructor Eddie Kone awarded 2 stripes to Oz and Yusuf (both from the London Academy) and 1 stripe to Simon. 

Well done guy's and Keep up the hard work! 

Good News and Bad News!!

Lets start with some good news, after a recent trip to RGDA-UK headquarters in London I am proud to announce that both Josh and Laura were  promoted  (1 stripe each) by Eddie Kone. This was due to some excellent rolling/sparring that impressed all the guy's at the London Academy.

WELL DONE.

Now for some bad news, unfortunately due to scheduling and time restraints the upcoming Royce Gracie seminar has been cancelled. On a more positive note there will be a seminar held at the London academy, dates and prices will be posted shortly.

Romania

The trip to Romania taken by Shane Burr and Eddie Kone was for the most part a big success. We were welcomed by Absoluto BJJ (RGDA Romania) head instructor Tudor Mihaita.  Training with the guys at Absoluto BJJ was excellent, there were a number of BJJ Classes and everyone was keen to roll with Eddie and Shane. There were a number of promotions given out by Eddie including Shane receiving 2 stripes on his blue belt.  Whilst there Ferid, a member of Absoluto BJJ made his successful MMA debut and won his fight in the first round with a perfectly executed armbar. 

Unfortunately whilst training Shane injured his left knee. After seeking medical attention he has been informed that he has ruptured his ACL. This obviously is bad news but rest assured the classes here at RGDA Kent will continue as normal. Pictures of the trip will be in the gallery section soon.

Romania Trip.

RGDA - Kent Head instructor Shane Burr will be visiting our RGDA brothers in Romania next week. 

He will be attending the RGDA European reps meeting and will also be assisting Eddie Kone with a host of classes that are scheduled to take place. Further to this Shane and Eddie will also be attending an MMA event whilst in Romania.
