So we've been a bit quiet on here recently but its because we have had so much going on! On December 5th both Jon and I competed. We are all so proud of Jon he got a silver, Marlee got a gold medal just for being cute!!!! For me this was my first competition ever since I've started training! It was terrifying and i loved every minute of it and to top it off i got a gold medal! The best part about it is despite having fibromyalgia I was able to step on the mats and try my best and that meant the most to me! 
The smallest member of team rainha, showing the biggest who's the boss!

We took a family day trip to London to get some creative inspiration! We loved the use of bright colours and thick black lines!
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defence system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. It promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent.
We love to train together as a family and support each other as much as we can. It more often then not ends up with some funny comments from the small person.
On the way to the gym...
Marlee: "Im going to do boxing, what are you guys doing?"
Josie: We're going to do some Jiujtsu"
Marlee: "So you're doing the boring stuff while I'm doing the real work?" The cheeky little scamp!!!
Flow roll Fridays are a great way of practising the techniques we learn in classes and putting them into action. Using only 50% of your strength and just concentrating on the techniques gives you a great opportunity to feel what it is like to compete against somebody and gives you a chance to help each other. In this video I am rolling with Liam. He is always great fun to learn from and roll with
