HERE WE GO AGAIN

Online registration for the 2009 Thailand BJJ Open is now live. I've got myself down with lots of time to spare to get a free rashguard out of it! I thought I was early enough last year to snag one but I suppose not. Ah well.

I see loads of familiar names on the list already, and I'm looking forward to a great time! I'm planning to take some time off to stay in Bangkok after the competition, so I'll also be looking to do the no-gi competition.

It'll be my first experience competing without a gi and frankly I have no idea what to expect (not to mention, going by the experience chart, I'm supposed to be in the advanced category, hah). It's all good though, at least I'll finally get to see what it's all about.

Right now I'm the only one on the list from Malaysia. Come on you slackers! ;)

Whoa there!! We're in the midst of compiling all the names from our team, and will be registering in a week or two. Any idea where you'll be staying this time round?

There should be a sizeable Malaysian contingent this year, I hope. It should be fun!!

Sweet :)

I'll probably be staying at the Golden Palace Hotel again. Really nice location. Plus last year they had a really good discount for competitors as well as shuttles to the comp. I'm not sure if the same deal is on for this year, I'll check with Luke.

Plus I really want to stay on and train at his gym for a bit, which is basically at the hotel anyway.

How many guys do you expect from your end?

Fang said...

Hmm.. i was thinking of paying Luke's gym a visit as well, if time/schedule permits. There should be about 7 competitors from our side, still trying to firm things up at the moment. Good luck man!

DOnt forget to video all the matches and put them up on youtube ya?

Malaysians- Make us proud!

Albert said...

I'll definitely bring a camera but whether I remember to have it with me at the comp is a different story...had to borrow Rob's camera last year as mine was sitting in the hotel room, bah.

Jeyel said...

Well you're the defending champ so you better get some vid of your matches this time. :-)

Albert said...

Haha oi, no pressure though right?

Jeyel said...

Ok. Ok. No pressure.

Just bring home the gold, bro. :-)
