Carlson Gracie Tonbridge were kindly invited to attend the Roberto Atalla Seminar at Applied Fight Systems, Caterham this Saturday, 6th October. The seminar was very laid back and provided a wealth of good techniques & positions. At the end of the seminar Roberto instructed Steve Haydock to fight each of the students, about 25-30 of them, from white to brown belt. Sometime later and after the final fight with Roberto, Steve was awarded his Black Belt. I think that this is only the second black belt award from Roberto Atalla, his other black belt being awarded in Brazil.
In addition to this both Jamil Sorougi, Dave Pawan & Matt were awarded their Purple Belts by Roberto.
A fantastic day, thanks Roberto, Steve & the AFS Crew. A very big Carlson Gracie OSS.
Check out Roberto @ The Boiler Room, Hammersmith, next Saturday 13th October 07
