British Masters Championships yesterday - I won this event last year in the blue belt & below division, this year I was competing in the brown & black belt division, -100kg. I won my first fight by ippon and then lost my next 2. Didn't feel out of my depth though, and feel I can hang at this level for sure. No podium placing, but the ippon win in the first bout gives me another 10 points towards my 1st Dan, so I'm on 40 now and need to get 100. Will keep chipping away at it!

'hespect just for getting on the mats and competing, never mind winning a bout by Ippon. Well done, brother.

What throw did you get Ippon with?

Thank you KT, I initially scored a waza-ari for an ouchi-gari as he didn't land completely on his back, after a bit of ne-waza we got stood up and he went for an uchi-mata and I kind of just stepped over it and steered him down with my hands....no idea of the technique name to be honest, but it scored an ippon so I'll take it!

Awesome.

If you plan on visiting Kananaskis please take bear spray with you. The bears are going to be prepping for hibernation and will be more aggressive.

Yeah I have bear spray, better to be safe than sorry, but thanks for the heads up. Went and saw my first hockey game in Calgary last night, my boys and I really enjoyed it, shame the Flames lost though.
