Buna echipa.
Apologies this is a bi-monthly newsletter this month as I managed to miss Augusts roundup and I am just getting around to it… so this is August and September together.
Parabéns!
Firstly congratulations to Razvan, Andrei and Alex V on their wins at the AJP Tour in Bucarest. It constantly blows my mind that, as such a small club we can compete and win against much bigger teams. That said I truly believe it is down to the hard work and commitment that everyone puts in on the mats all year round.
Multumesc! I really appreciate you all very very much.
Welcome Visitors
Over the last few months we have had some very welcome visitors.
Alex Mezei has been grappling training for his MMA fight in Timisoara. While the result didn’t go his way, as always, his work rate has been impressive and inspirational to the whole team.
We also had Absoluto black belt Mihai Dinca and blue belt Alex Dan join us and for two sessions. Then a week later we were joined by a second Absoluto black belt and one of Romania’s top referees Catalin Otelea.
Finally we had a Romanian visitor from the UK in Christian Bucerzan from Gracie Swindon.
I cannot thank these visitors enough for coming and spending time with us. Progress does not happen in a vacuum and when we are lucky enough to have a visitor I believe that we move forward through shared knowledge and experience.
As always I was very proud to welcome visitors to our little gym and I was pleased to see how welcoming everyone was.
