CARLSON GRACIE TEAM WIN "MESTRE GOMES CUP"
It is with great pride we announce that Carlson Gracie Revolution Team won the MESTRE MAURCIO GOMES CUP at The Essex BJJ Open on 3rd May 2009. It was particularly poignant for Instructors Simon Hayes,Dickie and Steve Haydock because it was at the same venue in 2002 that Marc Walder and Royce Gracie ran the first Gracie Invitational,and all three were present as students on that historic day. Coming back there 7 years later and winning the team trophy for Carlson Gracie Team was an amazing honour for the club. Well done to each and every Carlson student who turned up to fight or support,you did a great job and we are so proud of you all. I speak for the whole Carlson Gracie Team when i thank Marc Walder,Dave Coles and all the refs,table judges and helpers for an outstanding day. Also a huge thanks and massive respect for all the other teams that make up UK Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.Without all of us competing against each other and pushing each other at every competition the sport would not be as diverse or be growing at such a fantastic rate. Carlson Gracie Revolution Team won the team event with 229 points to the second place teams 131 points! COMPETITION RULES,STATEGIES AND TECHNIQUES SEMINAR
On Saturday 2nd May,in preparation for the next days Essex Open competition we will be running a Seminar providing instruction on BJJ Competition rules, the points system,strategies and techniques.The Seminar will replace the usual Judo and BJJ Classes that day and will run from 12.30pm-4pm.

It is with pride i announce that Dickie Martin was awarded his Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tonight by our instructor Wilson Junior. Dickie,who also received his Blue,Purple and Brown from Wilson at Carlson Gracie Revolution Team joins the ranks of U.K. BJJ Black Belts. A fierce competitor,he has been tearing up the tournament scene since 2001. An inspiring teacher,tough training partner and our own encyclopedia of Jiu Jitsu,Dickie has trained exceptionally hard for a very long time. As a Blue Belt he decided to cross train in Judo to help his BJJ game and was awarded his Judo 1st Dan in 2005. I am also proud to announce that another Old School Carlson Gracie Student was awarded a new belt tonight as well- NISAR - PURPLE BELT. The Purple Belt is an extremely large hurdle in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Nisar has trained for many years to arrive at this stage-Well done my friend. 10th May 2008  A fantastic day at
the boiler room with over 30 students on the mat for Rodrigo
Medeiros' seminar. With a mixture of great techniques from
the seminar the students will have a lot to work on over the coming
weeks.
It was also an
especially memorable day for Mark,Alex, Ian,Gary and Jay who received
their blue belts from Simon and Dick to mark the first
major milestone on their journey in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
