Last two weeks @ Oceania BJJ Okinawa

Phew. Big couple of weeks.

The Ryukyu free fight tournament and Yuki Nakai seminar were last weekend.

No one from our team fought in the tournament but some of our members went in support of other teams and fighters.

The tournament was well organised and flowed well. Good job Ryota Matsune!!!

Following the tournament was a seminar taught by the legendary Yuki Nakai.


The seminar was interesting and covered a variety of techniques from how to escape the back to the berimbolo.

The instruction was excellent and Yuki Nakai spoke excellent English and took the time to explain the moves one on one.

He took the time at the end of class to explain some BJJ philosophy.

He explained how important it is to train with different people and different martial arts.

He shared an idea that I have heard a few times recently: "You shouldn't think of positions in bjj as bad positions or good positions but instead treat them a position with its own unique possibilities."
