Ivo Dos Santos was a guest on our radio show a few weeks ago to help us get a sense of how the world of Judo works. He is currently on a path toward reaching his goals of competing at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Here’s an update he sent us on his progress:

Hey guys just thought I’d send an update on how I am progressing in my Olympic Qualifying journey. Well, it’s good news, I’ve managed some good results in Pan America through July as well as the recent World Championships in Paris. (read above blog entry for full rundown on Worlds).

The Olympic Qualifying phase is 15 months in to a 24 month period and at this point I am 16th on the Qualification order,the top 22 Qualify so it is looking very good as long as I continue my strong form.

Now I am home for a while to rest and recharge my batteries for my next batch of Olympic Qualifiers in November-December.

Some other things have been going on for me behind the scenes recently too. I have recently started teaching Judo classes at Evolve MMA http://evolvemma.com.au/ which is helping me raise funds for my Judo training whilst also providing me with the opportunity to pass on the many lessons I have learned in my own training.

My facebook page http://www.facebook.com/Ivojudo is an outlet where I am constantly putting out little bits of info in regards to training advice, competition info, instructional videos and motivational advice, if you have the time please check it out and like it if possible.

Hope you are all well, will send another update on my progress a bit further down the track.

Ivo Dos Santos
