Deep Butterfly Half for Graham & Pete

[middleway]

Well chaps, let me be the first to congratulate our man Graham on his promotion to Brown Belt!!! By Professor Carlos Lemos Jr & Professor Salvo!

Congratulations Bro!

[cloudz]

wow, yes big congratulations that is a great achievement G. How long has that taken you ?
I have recently got something booked up on a private basis for the summer so I can brush up in this area.
looking forward to it, it's always fun.

[GrahamB]

Distressingly quickly George, got to step up my game now! I'd be happy staying a blue belt to be honest - but I trust my professor to know what belt I am, it's not up to me I've just got to live up to it.

Thank you for the support guys!

[cloudz]

Cool. I sometimes get confused.. does it go blue brown purple black or blue purple brown black.
Have you been competing a little as well, if so how did you find the experience?

[Dmitri]

Congrats! Man, that was fast. Getting darker by the minute...

[GrahamB]

blue purple brown black.

I competed a bit at Blue, but it's hard when your married and have 2 kids - weekends are family time. Middleway is the competition specialist

[cloudz]

Oh tell me about it.. having a kid almost wrecked my training - what marriage left of it anyway.
I wouldn't mind once or twice though just for a different experience, at my age now you don't get too many options.

On an iPhone, download AD Sports app (it's all in Arabic) and you can watch the Abu Dabi pro trials on channel 2 - it's live streaming right now!

[middleway]

Also on flograppling.com with English commentary and mat selection if anyone signed up to that.

Congrats, Graham.

Now prepare for the target on your back from all the bigger and younger guys.

[GrahamB]

I think the target appeared at Purple - not sure what the lesson of Brown will be yet...

[fuga]

I meant the target at any belt change. Now you just have more snapping dogs wanting a piece of flesh.

I was on TV today getting beaten up by Gina!

EDIT - better quality version.
