Iโ€™m back but Iโ€™m sick (plane flu) Iโ€™m trying to arrange cover for you..
+
I want to shout out to Gareth, Shano, Spencer, Tony, Darren and Kieran for picking up the slack while Iโ€™ve been away.
+
One of the things that stuck with me in Aussie was what an incredible depth of solid senior Black Belts GSW is blessed with.
+
When I started this s**t all those years ago I was teaching as a Blue Belt! Now on any given night you can have the input and assistance of any one of a dozen Black Belts.
+
Iโ€™m so blessed to have so many steadfast loyal students behind me. GSW truely is standing on the shoulders of giants. Thank you boys I appreciate each and every one of you.
+
See you soon

6pm BJJ Beginners Fundamentals
7pm No Gi with Shano and Spencer
+
Last nights Iron Maiden concert was a banger. My ears are fu**ed.
+
But 100% carried on the theme of the time away, which has turned out to be catching up with old friends and filling my cup to overflowing.
+
At spark I missed our Scotty and Reece and Mason, but ran into Fritz. As well as Marcel from Rolling Inc and Andrew Craven and James
+
But the big one was this guy. Eddie Woodford. Holy s**t, havenโ€™t seen him irl for a very long time and it was utterly epic getting such a beautiful hug from my old friend. Old school Zen Do Kai from the time before BJJ, but heโ€™s always been so supportive of me. Such a beautiful human.
+
Another picture for me to cherish

This guy! This is Doug. He was who I wanted to be when I grew up. Heโ€™s a kiwi living in Melbourne and heโ€™s my friend. It was so good to briefly catch up with him at The Gathering after many many years.

Doug used to visit his parents in welly in the early 2000s and would always try to drop into GSW to kneeride peoples faces.. I miss those days..

A perfect shot at a perfect moment on a perfect day. An instant classic for me. โค๏ธ

This pic is me and the legend that is Rigan Machado. My life is infinitely better for knowing this man. I own my coach John Will a massive debt of gratitude for bringing Rigan into my life.

This man fills my cup to overflowing every time I see him and this time I got to spend many hours in his company. Iโ€™m so very grateful for that.

My friend, riganmachado

Me and my shiny bald head are very excited today. Itโ€™s the first time in 16 years that Iโ€™ve made it back to The Gathering.

Itโ€™s also bittersweet because I should be sharing it with the other OG Kiwis, Geoff and Shayne. A solid reminder to sort your s**t and take nothing for granted in life.

So, carpe diem

See you soon my friends

Congrats James keep up the good work!

People converging this week - many of whom, have known each other for decades. Thinking about that - it is remarkable really. It is a special thing (for me at least). I'm really looking forward to the weekend - Gathering comp on Saturday and seminar with Rigan on the Sunday. The Sunday itself is an astounding collection of people - all coming together on the mat. No surprise if we see 50 Black Belts in the same room - what a ways we have come!
