post Chico Mendes Seminar

This past sunday Kreation hosted a seminar by Chico Mendes at Budo Academy. Mendes conducted 2 fantastic sessions (gi and no-gi) that covered takedowns, guard passes, chokes, etc etc. Very insightful details on common positions were imparted, and participants sure had a fruitful time.

A Gold Medal from the Fightworks Asia NoGi Tournament

Over the last weekend, a small team representing Kreation comprising Aziz El-Bakush, Ervin Lin, Hongjie Lim and Sean "Big Man" participated in the Fightworks Asia Tournament.

They performed on that day, and when the dust settled, Ervin Lin came off with a Gold medal win in his category of Advanced White and at the 63.5-70kg weight division.

Well done Ervin!

Along with Ervin, the group gained additional competition experience and are looking forward to the next event. As a team, they did us proud.

Thanks go to Fightworks Asia for organising the tournament.
