Taki won the RICKSON GRACIE CUP - 2009

KLN Members, excellent news!!!

Taki won Rickson Gracie cup today in his weigh division. He also won Dumau Cup in this May, today was his 5th big titles in his brown belt Carrier.

We should be very proud of training with him. Let's have a big party when we get back to HK.
See you on the mat on Wednesday!!

What do you get the man who has everything? Answer: Hair.

In celebration of Ariel and Maggie's upcoming engagement party, one altruistic KLN-BJJ member will graciously donate their hair to our folically-challenged blue-belt: Ariel.

Holding back a virtual tsunami of tears, Ariel had only one thing to say about this bounteous gift, "My whole life, or, that is, since the balding got out of control, I've dreamed of this moment. I mean, to give someone an organ, like a heart shows immense goodwill, but hair, that is like giving someone your very soul. I really don't know what to say. (sob, sob, weep, weep, baby-sob)"

In anticipation of this momentous occasion, I've taken the liberty to post a few potential donor samples, being Kei, Andre, Mike, Aston (a.k.a. Switchblade), Marcio's blond friend, my daughter Erika, and, my favorite, Kei's mom. Just for kicks, I put the pictures together into a little educational matching game the can be printed off and played at home with the kids, grandma, or anyone that likes games for that matter. Enjoy!

Training at Academia Az

"Samulime" went to train with Wado san (Leo Viera's black belt and Taki's master) and Brad yesterday. It was a very good class with many technical players.

21st JUNE / COPA DE IMPAKT / NEW VENUE

== IMPORTANT NOTICE==

The venue of 'COPA DE IMPAKT' on coming Sunday 21st June changed.

New Venue : SCAA (South China Athletic Association)
South China Judo Club
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_China_AA
Date : 21st June 2009
Weigh in : 13:00 PM
Start time : 14:00 PM

As the number of competitors increased more than expected (more than 60 people), so I requested SCAA (I was a Judo coach of SCAA before) to help and they agreed to let us use the venue just because of their friendship and goodwill to us.

Needless to say, we need to use the venue properly, never break or damage their property, make sure to clean up after use, never leave any litter, and please keep your eyes watch on other club members too. We must not give them any bad impression on jiujitsu. I need all of your guys` help.

Unlike last CopaDeHongkong1&2, I won`t spend much time for referee or management, because I want to cheer our members. You don`t need to be nervous. As I always said 'win or lose' is not a matter at all. Just enjoy games and show same moves as you did during practices.

- DINNER -
Sad news, Hara-san, a.k.a. "Mr.WONDERFUL", will leave Hongkong to station at his company Tokyo office on 27th June. We will have a farewell dinner for him after the competition. Please everyone join. Forrest, please tell the punishers to join too.

Taki, Chores manager of KLNBJJ
