I bought myself a new camera - the Sony A6000 - which takes beautiful HD footage at 60 frames per second. This means I can slow the footage down to 24 frames per second without any judder or loss of quality [as seen in the latter part of this clip]. This video is my first attempt filming video with the camera. It shows Sunday morning wrestling class at the academy where I train.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the footage. I hope to be filming more content showing the variety of classes and activities that one can train in at Roger Gracie Mill Hill.

Summary
Stylish and super practical backpack designed to carry a full gi and nogi set along with accessories and all the accoutrement necessary for a day out travelling to training or a competition. The bag was very comfortable to carry even when loaded with heavy items, I found however, the material was a bit too plasticky compared to my usual backpack (Datsusara Battlepack Mini) and the lack of a water bottle holder to be a major omission. Overall however, great value for money and thoughtfully designed backpack.

Available to buy from the Tatami Fightwear website here.
Price £39.50 (roughly $62USD)

Summary
An attractively designed, soft fabric uniform with a great feel and overall fit, except for shrinkage along the sleeves - typical for goldweave fabrics - which resulted in a gi with arms too short for my personal dimensions.

Information
Available to buy from the Gawakoto Store for £100 plus shipping.

Disclosures

Super15 is a brand new event based on the now popular submission only grappling super fight format ala Metamoris, Polaris etc. For this event, the '15' represents the maximum number of minutes for each fight. A win could only be called when one opponent submits another. I was asked by the organisers and Jiu Jitsu Style magazine to take photographs. Here are a few gems from the night...

The Red Panda I drew for Tatami Fightwear is available now from their store, or a week later throught their worldwide sellers.

This design is the sequel to the Beijing Pandas I created for them back in 2013.

The Chinese wording (xiao xiong mao) simply says 'small panda' which is what the red panda is called in China. I wonder why not 'hong xiong mao?' Perhaps a wise Chinese studies expert can comment here to educate me?

Anyway, if you would like to read more on how I drew these critters, head on over to my art blog.

Following on from the success of my mandrill themed t-shirt, rashguard and gi designs for 93 Brand, I have now created spats, with all new artwork.

They can be purchased on the 30th April at 11pm Eastern time over on BJJHQ.com.

If there are any left, I imagine they'll also be available on their sister site Rollmore.com and the brand new soon to open Rollmore Superstore.
