Ok fellas…I know it’s kinda late (bout a year), but, this was BJJ Borneo’s 1st FBT Bangkok Open in Sept. 08′:
(L-R): Allen (Silver/No-Gi Intermediate >75kg), Tony Eduardo of Gracie Barra Florianopolis (Basically Gold in everything & Technical Fighter Award), Samuel, me lah, (Silver/No-Gi Novice <85kg) & Dimitrios Tsitos of Gracie Barra Greece (2 gold, 1 silver & 1 bronze + technical fighter award)
A huge congratulations to BJJ Borneo’s Heavyweight champ DARREN LOW: Gold (Gi – <100kg). Tho one might have super ‘Orang Utan’ strength, but in BJJ, techniques & leverage are the ultimate key. And Darren’ s one grappler who combines both very well.
Darren was the 2008 Phillipines BJJ International medalist with Gold (Gi- <100.5kg), Silver (No-Gi – <91.5kg) & Bronze (No-Gi – Absolute). Good work brotha!! Pics to be posted soon… ;0)
By the way…here’s the pic of the group in Manila December 2008…which Allen (our coach) forgot to post. Hahaha shorty!!!
(L-R) Squatters : Winston & Steve (fastest BJJ white belt submission).
(L-R) Standing: Karole, Allen (coach) – Gold/No-Gi Intermediate 67.5-73.5 kg, Enoch (Le Playboy) – Bronze/No-Gi Basic 67.5-73.5kg, Susanna, Hamid (Le Lawman) & Darren (triple medalists).
We would like to wish all our Muslim friends Selamat Hari Raya!
Eat hardy and see you back on the mats!
