I’ve been busy like hell, that’s true.  I doubt that even with a lot of time available I would write something that is worth reading (besides this post of course hehe).

You have seen posts about training BJJ here in Medellin. Well, right now we were trying to create a group of interested people in the art. Since  we started training like three people have joined us.  Now, looking to publicize the group  I have set-up some online resources for the “Club”.

1. A web site using Google Sites (formerly Jotspot)  which allowed me to create the web very easily. You can see a initial version here:

http://sites.google.com/site/bjj-medellin/Home

2. also I have created a Google Group so anyone looking for information can write to the group or list and contact us:

bjj-medellin@googlegroups.com

3. And of course a Facebook group. Look for BJJ Medellin. :-)

Now, about the training itself it has been good. Will traveled to USA and Brazil and his technique improved a lot. Now he can beat me more easily. That is very annoying :S.  I am worried about he’s gonna get bored :P. I think  the other guys are improving, we have now training with us a Judo Black Belt, which I is a very hard.  I have got a couple of nice chokes on him but the guy has a great base, and his Judo pinning  techniques  (Osaekomi-wasa) are very good.

It’s looks like Gracie Barra is coming to Medellin, the instructor would be a guy called Carlos Barreto, he’s a Purple Belt from GB Panama. I believe we are going to join to his academy when it’s open but in the mean time I would like to continue with the group. We are having so much fun training.

Ah, I forgot, we are going to start training an additional day in the week, Wednesday  at 7:30 PM Sol naciente Judo Club. Go to the BJJ Medellin Google site to get directions.

Well I guess it’s all for now.
