10th Planet JJ Melbourne ranga

[FRANK BARCA]

Here is Dane Bruce, one of my up and coming fighters at the recent Pan Pacific Champs in Melbourne

[James Fazzolari]

After rolling with him yesterday, I can say that he is very technical and very strong! What a clinic! Beautiful half guard sweep at the start and total domination afterwards.

You got to teach me that sweep Frank, it was a work of beauty!

[Louis Ho]

Yes, that was a beautiful sweep.

[Dane]

wow, thanks heaps for posting that Sensei!

and thanks very much for the kind words guys; competing in the pan pacs was an absolute blast, I can't wait to compete again and fly the flag for 10th planet and rangas everywhere!

[Tim Bruhn]

Loved your patience Dane.

With the head/arm you had, I've always had trouble getting the tap from the positions you were in, but as soon as I scoot through to like a Kesa Gatame position I get an instant tap. Not trying to tell you what to do at all mate, just something I found worked instantly for me and trying to spread some Aussie love

Congrats again on the win mate

[Dane]

thanks heaps Tim, yeah I tried not to rush into anything, I took my time on the underpass from full guard and just waited for an opportunity. Arm triangles aren't usually my bag but that fight was a great reminder of why I need to practice them more! Thanks for the tip as well, I'll be sure to check that out.

take it easy mate.

[DarbyBarby]

Great work Dane mate!

[Tony Toffolo]

Yes, that was a beautiful sweep.

word. great match
