The Secret Shaka #24
Let's get physical
Hello my friends, and thanks for taking the time to check out this weeks issue of the Secret Shaka. I hope you enjoyed all the photos & coverage of the open mat, and also the day itself!
We had a blast, so thank you so much for coming and we look forward to seeing you at the next one.
If you missed the video, you can see it here:
New athlete signing
In the first of our news stories, we’d like to announce that we have teamed up with Will Kaye of Lakes BJJ. Will is a brown belt under his brother Sam Kaye & legend of Jiu Jitsu Ben Poppleton, an outstanding Jiu Jitsu talent, dominating all over the UK submission scene and most importantly, a great dude.
We look forward to seeing Will take on the world, representing Reap.
Here he is putting Dan through his paces:
Speaking of athletes, our favourite female grappler Courtney is back from Abu Dhabi!
Keep an eye out for her taking limbs home from every high level grappling show in the UK over the next few months.
Grapplefest announce a ton of matches
First up, Eoghan o Flanagan Vs Jacob Couch is on! They tried to make this match up previously, but it fell apart. Now it’s on, 3rd December at Fusion in Liverpool. It also features our very own Will Kaye. Can’t wait for this!
Courtney competing at Empire X Roll Models tournament
In stoke tomorrow Courtney is part of a 16 woman sub only tournament / show / invitational / thing. I dunno. There’ll be grappling, and Courtney will be competing. Let’s go!
If you want tickets, click the poster below but I honestly don’t know what you’ll be signing up for.
Product update
Hoodies, tape, rashguard and shorts restock will all be going live over the next week or two. Keep an eye across our socials for info on when they’re dropping! And be sure to jump into our Facebook Group Reapers of the knee to join our community of savages. Discuss technique, throw some shade at Gracie Barra, whatever you feel like.
Catch you next week!
