A GOOD START

So far we have had a good start to the year despite a prolonged Christmas break due to snow, The classes are back to full strength and we had two guys (Kev and Sahid) fight their way into the finals of their respective weight groups at the first International competition of the year The European Championships in Lisbon, Portugal.

There is now a competition schedule up at the gym for the main events of the year for those who wish to compete. Unfortunately not all competitions can be attended by coaching staff so please make us aware if you intend to enter a competition so we can help you prepare and let you know if other team members are entering to help with travel arrangements where possible.

BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIPS

While on the subject of competition we can address the upcoming British Open to be held in Birmingham Sat 27^th & Sun 28^th March 2010. This is one of the biggest and best run tournaments in the UK and a good bench mark for all competitors. We will be running extra sessions in the run up to this competition to help everyone be as best prepared as possible, a list of dates and venues is featured below, all are welcome to the extra sessions even if you are not competing you are still a big part of the team and will be essential in getting the guys and girls competing as ready as they can be for the tournament.

TOTAL DOJO

We are very pleased to announce we now have a 5^th night available at Total Dojo in Bletchley, every Wednesday at 8.15pm – 9.45pm Rga Bucks will be teaching Bjj at this fully matted venue, as a member of Rga Bucks you are welcome to these sessions to train with new faces and different experience levels. As a result of now running 5 nights a week it was necessary to get some help on board with teaching over 20 classes per month and as Rga Bucks is keen to enlist help from within the club we are pleased to confirm that Matty Burn and Sahid Khamlichi are now assistant instructors for Rga Bucks, both are experienced Blue belts and are a welcome addition to the team.
