there and back again



It has bin a while since I updated this page.


I was out with injury's for several months..(broken rib,busted knee,etc)


I'm taking a few day of now and will be back to full training next week!


I did compete in three tournaments in the meanwhile, the first one being the Rickson Gracie team tournament,in wich I was able to submit everyone in the advanced open class, but it took enough toll on me to disable me from winning the next tournament 5 days later.. Having me lose a lackluster match in the first round.


Luckely, I had a several weeks to recover and a full week to train for the next big tournament, the Zona no-gi.


Wich had me placed 3rd in -85 and absolute.


Not back up there,but I did win 7 matches, and was beaten by a brown belt and reigning european champion, and the second place winner in olympic wrestling/pro judo player.


So I'm pretty happy with the results, I learned a lot.

Helio Gracie Dies at the age of 95.





Sad news has reached us that Helio Gracie has died.
As grandmaster of the sport, and example to many he will be sorely missed.
He died at the age of 95 at the consequences of pneumonia.
