Have been training with Coach Nico Han for 10-days or so now, while in Bali this summer. It has been a great experience so far. Nico is a super humble guy, and really hands on. He's rolled with me each session.
I am a 48 Y.O. 1-year WB, training in Gi, and this club is mostly no-gi. So new guy, no spring chicken, throw in that its a club in a new part of the world with a bunch of dudes that I've never met, to say that I was nervous would be an understatement. However, Nico and his team have been welcoming from the first moment. I am a much more confident BJJ practitioner now than I was last week, great job and thanks guys. Super good value as well, Nico isn't hammering the tourists for all their Rupiah either.
The teaching style and format is cool. Super chill, and based on progressions. All this last 10-days or so we've been working on back Mount escapes, with transitions to top position, darce chokes, ashi garami, etc. Then positional same, and then rolling. It's cool to stay on one thing for several sessions, getting lots of reps and dialing in the little details. I can't wait now to get back to my home club, which I love, and then let them take my back, ha!
This has been a great summer holiday so far. Being able to train consistently at Synergy has been the apple on the pie.
