Last training in Cyprus
Tonight was my last training in Cyprus. I promoted some of the guys (and girl :)) with stripes on their white belts. They are beginners and have no instructors, but really have a passion for learning and are working hard. I am looking forward to come back another time and I am sure they will be blue belt level then.
Since my knee still hurt, I skipped sparring myself. One day of doing nothing is always terrible for me, so I found a weight room in the University and did a workout there. It was full of machines and had virtually no free weights. There was a lot of people there, but I had the pull up bar, dip rack and barbells to myself luckily :) It was nice to do a workout, I really miss that from home. Also, I was reminded how lucky I am to have such good facilities and friends to train with there.

Congrats to those who got promoted! :)
Out of interest, did you have any particular criteria in mind that you felt they had met? I can’t remember what the Gracie Combatives criteria is (though I know for Bullyproof it is attending a certain number of classes).

No, just my usual assessment of technical proficiency in sparring. No different than what I do at home :)
