Our Swedish friend Andreas Tjärnberg, who visits and trains with us from time to time just wrote in to let us know he recently won the Swedish team-championship in something called Goshindo a few weeks ago.
Be sure to check out the website:

On the website, he writes:
På väg från Jakan med vinnarbucklan. Livet leker men bulorna i fejset börjar kännas.
Being almost fluent in Swedish myself, I can translate that for our readers:
I would like to thank all my friends at Gracie-Barra Marbella. Thanks to what I learned there — how to pass the guard, and how to give the opponent a mean look before the competition — I was able to win my Goshindo Championship.
Or something like that, anyway…
Congratulations, Andreas! We’re all looking forward to your next visit to Marbella.
