THE MATS WERE BUZING TONIGHT!! I use to feel important in this club.. But now I’m just another face in the crowd!! Non stop drilling from 7:00 till 8:00.. Then 5min rounds from 8:00 till 9:00pm I feel sorry for all those washing machines tonight we were all soaked right through!👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻 I’m always very flattered that so many dedicated practitioners travel so far to come and train in our quiet little town!🙏🏻THANK YOU!

It’s much more than the MEDALS.. It’s the family feeling you get in times of uncertainty. It’s the whispers of encouragement that each athlete gets from their team mates moments before their time in the spot light. It’s the hugs you get when things don’t work out, it’s the sleeves that are lent to wipe away tears.. It’s the rush you feel when your training partner WINS! It’s the modesty that is felt as you step on the podium!! It’s WHAT WE DO!! I’m proud of our TEAM!!❤️🙏🏻😉

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=429923454127543&id=100013296763459 NEW RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT: Sending your child to a martial arts class that predominantly practices punching thin air, might not develop the practical skills necessary to resolve real life alterations!

Thank you to the Bury Free Press this week! It’s great to see the local media once again give some recognition to the hard work and dedication that’s takes place within the PADDED WALLS of Carlson Gracie Norfolk! Congratulations to Joe and our team of highly motivated and ultra technical training/sparing partners that continue to raise his game! Anyone interested in Brazilian Jiujitsu please checkout our Facebook pages #CarlsonGracieNorfolk #TsunamiGymNorfolk Or pop into our full time, fully matted, fully central heated dojo based within the CharlesBurrellCentre!

Keli is a USAF serviceman that has been posted here for the next 4 years! As I have mentioned before, I have a huge amount of empathy for military serviceman who’s loyalty towards their Martial Arts Association is often superseded by their professional obligations towards their country! Heaven knows, the temperamental politics of BJJ can often be difficult to negotiate! As a student I would never consider changing affiliations purely because the grass appeared to be greener! As an instructor I would never secretly entice somebody else’s student to leave their current organization in favor of my own! As a human being I would never attempt to take credit for the achievements of another professors hard work! I would like to publicly acknowledge anybody that has assisted this young man in his Journey so far! And welcome him into our team!

7:00pm tonight WILSON JNR!!

Great night of bjj last night.. it’s great to have a great mixture of talented guys walking through the doors and putting us to test. Never get comfortable as there’s always space for improvement. I’m grateful for also having such a good coach too! #bjj #gi #killers #grappling #fitness #motivation #dedication #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #teampower #portuguese #mma #fighter #tsunaminorfolk #tnt #sheathunderwear
