May 8, 2011 - Isabella Fan turns 1 year old!

the youngest member of the TRIQUEST family just got a little bit older. her rooftop party coincided with the first amateur MMA competition in Hong Kong, so dad had to pull double duty.

April 24, 2011 - inaugural UJA BJJ competition

fresh from ACL replacement surgery, this was my first full day off the bed and out of the house. what better way to spend it than volunteering all day at a BJJ competition? our friends at HKJJ put on their first Hong Kong BJJ competition. it ran smoothly, and mostly on time, though we had to open up the warm up area as a ring to keep things moving.


there was a very good turn out of tough competition from all over Asia, including Singapore, Philippines and Taiwan. the higher belt categories were pretty stacked too, so we got to see some great fights.


several of our guys competed and medaled, way to go everybody! Lok took a silver, and both Justin and Lung got bronze in their divisions.

April suprise seminar - black belt Marc Marins

we were very pleased to see our old member Liz back in Hong Kong, and with her she brought North Vancouver Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt Marc Marins. Marc was kind enough to drop by and roll, showing some great side control transmissions and submissions. we hope to see him back in Hong Kong soon!

Happy Chinese New Year!

we celebrated at our regular hotpot place in Mongkok with great food, too many beers and wonderful company. someone brought sake which was a very BAD idea when you are toasting every minute. with some less than stellar antics, we closed down the place. someone threw up. someone lost his iphone. stellar party for TRIQUEST members, as per usual!
