Grading Day - June 12 2021 For the first time in

Grading Day - June 12 2021

For the first time in what seems like forever we were allowed to have a combined grading with all belts attending & it was such a good feeling to have everyone of all levels, from both TG Crows Nest & TG Drummoyne supporting each other.

We started the day with the higher belts (blue up) & pushed them through 8x5min rolls.

It’s not often we get all the higher belts on the mat at the same time & was good to see some high level rolling.

After the higher belt ceremony we moved straight on with the lower belts grading. We worked through a variety of fundamental rolling scenarios.

Congratulations to all of our BJJ members who graded, and to those below who all received belt promotions:

Yellow belts:

🥋Samantha Minehan

Blue belts:

🥋Lawrence Rim
🥋Andrew Morrow
🥋Riccardo Borgonovo
🥋Jessica Tong

Purple belts:

🥋Omar Razi
🥋Ben King

Brown belts:

🥋Nick lockyear
🥋Marc Gehret
🥋Craig Moore
🥋Tristan Hessel

It was a massive day, and due to the long weekend (and people being away) there are a few belts still to be awarded, so stay tuned.

Well done again everyone & thanks to our amazing coaches for all their efforts as well. We are already looking forward to the next one 👊🏼

Thanks also as always to @warren_s_photography for being there to capture the day ☺️

Need some tips for how to stay motivated & actuall

Need some tips for how to stay motivated & actually come to training in these crazy arctic temps? 🥶

1️⃣ Plan your week & use ZenPlanner to book your classes.

Don’t just wing it. Work out what classes you can attend, then book them in! You’re less likely to cancel if you’ve already planned your week around your training (rather than let the week roll by & dictate what you can and can’t do).

2️⃣ Get yourself a training buddy!

We all know that showing up for ourselves is important, but being accountable to someone else may give you the extra incentive to show up.

No one wants to be let down, so find someone who you gel with & commit to show up to some classes together.

3️⃣ Set yourself a skill goal.

Training for training’s sake is great, but training with a specific goal in mind is better.

Use these next couple of months to really focus on something that YOU want to achieve. And chat to your coaches about anything in particular that you want to learn. They are there to help you become the best version of you, so don’t be shy. Use their knowledge, put your goal out there and get to work 👊🏼

What else motivates you to train through winter? Let us know!

And the TG winter challenge is heating up, with the top 10 all pretty neck and neck. How many classes have you been to this week?

In case you missed it @sydneycontender wrapped up

In case you missed it @sydneycontender wrapped up their last round with 2 massive fight nights last weekend.

With a huge number of our Training Grounds members stepping into the ring, we wanted to say congratulations to you all, for all of the effort and determination you put in, just to get to that point. That alone takes serious commitment and we have seen how hard you’ve all worked over the last few months 🥊

Now, here is a wrap up from @boxing_coach_ayo about how it all went down.
____________________________

A massive thank you to the guys and girl that took part in this seasons @sydneycontender at @traininggrounds

We had back-to-back shows this weekend and 12 of our boxers stepped through the ropes and gave it their all.

We won some and lost a few more, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Some of the fights were absolute barn burners and could have gone either way. More importantly, seeing the way you have transformed yourselves both physically and mentally, has made the early starts and late nights worthwhile.

I’d also like to acknowledge the guys that didn’t make it to fight night, who lost out because of last minute injury or opponent registration issues.

I know how hard you worked for this and how heartbreaking it was.

We go again.

Thank you to all of the boxers, coaches and gyms involved in this season. The sparring days and fights were hectic, yet the camaraderie throughout was amazing.

The atmosphere across both nights was phenomenal.

Thank you to our support staff who made this all what it is.

A final thank you to my wonderful fiancée.

Astrid spent days (and nights) on the phone and in front of the screen. Whether battling to get registrations through with Combat Sports, or canvassing far and wide for opponents.

All while heavily pregnant and chasing after a toddler.

She is an incredible woman x

CONGRATULATIONS to our TG KIDS who had their mid y

CONGRATULATIONS to our TG KIDS who had their mid year grading yesterday.

Here are just a few of the little legends who graded, but well done to all our kids & to Coach Wayne for the effort you’ve all put in so far this year.

While not everyone got a stripe or new belt, it was amazing to see the kids come together to support and cheer each other on.

We love watching the enjoyment that the kids get from their training, and the smiles and pride on their faces when they did receive their promotions sure did say it all.

Showing up, being consistent & giving it your best is one thing (or maybe three) ... but having fun is what it’s really all about.

Thanks to all of the TG kids Mums and Dads for being a part of our family. We love having you all with us.

A reminder for our Muay Thai Women....This week is the last Friday of the month, which means WOMENS MUAY THAI SPARRING! (After the 6pm class with @david79barlow 🥊)

Put those techniques you’ve been practicing to work & develop your skills even further.

Open to all levels, so if you’re keen to give it a go, or think you might just like to take a look and see what it’s all about, come along!

Every student entering the gym has varied goals &

Every student entering the gym has varied goals & ambitions, and we are always trying to help you achieve your goals & be the best you can be.

While we recognise that no member experience is the same, there are similarities along the way, and that’s why we will be sharing your stories as a MEMBER SPOTLIGHT, every couple of weeks, as selected by the coaches at both Crows Nest & @traininggroundsdrummoyne

By sharing your experiences we hope that you’ll get to know your fellow TG members a little better, and perhaps take motivation for your own martial arts journey.

We all have experiences to share, and who knows who you’ll inspire by sharing yours.

Member Spotlight: Sang Chun

One of our longest running members, Sang joined us back in 2013. (The year Training Grounds was opened).

He is not just one of TG’s longest running members, but one of the most consistent. If he doesn’t show up for the morning Muay Thai session, there must be something wrong. [Often it’s because he has eaten something dodgy 😆]

Sang started TKD back in 1988 in South Korea, and his practiced most Martial Arts including Karate, Kung fu, Kickboxing & Muay Thai. His style is very unique.

His traditional background leads to immense respect on the mats. Bowing on and off the mats, maintaining integrity & modesty whilst training. He is a true team player & will happily partner with the newbie in class. He is great to train with and helps to motivate everyone around him.

Undoubtedly one of the most experienced practitioners in the gym, Sang has helped increase the level around him, which in hand has given him more skilled training partners.

Thanks Sang for your loyalty and for the wisdom/energy you bring to every session.

Weve had another big weekend of events for our Training Grounds members, with both boxing and BJJ events taking place.

Here is a round up of the PCYC boxing event, from @boxing_coach_ayo 🥊

It was back to Hawkesbury for another big PCYC show.

• Nathan had a solid exhibition bout with Kyle from Jabout, his previous opponent.

• Ryder made his debut for @traininggrounds and rarely took a backwards step, winning via UD.

• Bladen stepped into the ring after almost a 2 year lay off and paid the price for some costly errors. He lost via stoppage in the main event against the Ugandan Commonwealth representative.

It was a massive card with 37 fights and a big day out for the family.

Thank you to Dave & Isa for having us on. On to the next one 👊🏼

Another awesome group of women have successfully c

Another awesome group of women have successfully completed our Level One, Women’s Self Defence course yesterday.

The women were all super enthusiastic and despite being a little hesitant at the start of the program, by the end they were using their voices (loudly!), holding their frames & balance, using some basic striking & kicking to deter and defend, but ultimately they were showing confidence in their ability to evade or fight back if necessary. And that’s what it’s all about.

Stay tuned for more highlights, and details as we follow this course with the Level 2 program in the next few months.

Thanks to all the women for stepping out of their comfort zone, giving it a go and trusting us to teach them some fundamental defence skills.

Thanks also to our coaches @wayneo1960 and @coach_dani_curran and helpers, for putting themselves through the live action scenarios and taking a few hits 👊🏼

On Friday 28th May & Saturday 29th May, our Sydney

WRESTLING DRILLS ➖

We have moved into level 2 of the @wrestlingfoundation syllabus.

The content is top notch. Myself & Tristan are also students of this syllabus and enjoy running through the drills & flows.

It does not need to hurt or break you in order to get quality training, so turn up, keep at it and let’s learn together.

Looking forward to seeing our wrestlers back on the mat tomorrow 🤼‍♀️
