Training at SA Judo Academy

I was lucky enough to get very cheap tickets on Tiger airways to fly down and train with Steven brown at his club in adelaide, the South Australian Judo Academy.

It was pretty sweet training and good to get a variety in bodies and styles of fighting especially leading upto Oceania world cup on in a few weeks time.

Brownie owns and operates a gym called it was a great little gym with everything you need as far as strength and conditioning. It was great to go there and train with other people who want to train hard and are willing to get up at 530 every morning in order to train and another great thing about it was i was there to train myself and not have to worry about other people.

It is a fantastic setup, i had the gym if i needed it, a dojo with a stack of lightweight judo guys and a library 2 minutes down the road to catch up with study.

We tried to manage 3 sessions a day. I managed a judo session in the morning that was alot of uchikomi nage komi and transition work, then at lunch i would either do weights or cardio before doing schoolwork and then judo at night time.

So a very big thanks to Steve and Amy for letting me come down and stay and train with them as well as a big thanks to Will, Mark Leah Courtney and Christian for smashing us hard each session.

now this weekend I'm doing alot of study for exams in a week and a half as well as catching up with Sam cos i missed her a great stack.


Quote of the week.

Have an awesome day
