On the stereo today- I’m in a cafe and forgot my headphones so it’s Michael F*cking Bublé. On a Bublé note, I went to watch a 16 piece jazz band last Monday, literally in my local pub. Anyway, they were playing Christmas tunes and had guest singers up. It was like being in Vegas in … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Talk Talk Monday Pressing session. Or, let’s be realistic, chest and triceps session. Tuesday Back and biceps. Let’s not kid ourselves by pretending to be functional. We’re bodybuilding here! Wednesday Evening Jiu Jitsu. I’ve been a bit iffy with my back, but I had a nice few fun rolls. Basically screwing … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Charles Bradley Monday Jiu Jitsu- I got some rounds in, but only about 40 minutes worth. Not much to write home about. Tuesday Gym work. I’m off the training wagon for a while, so I’m going to run 4 weeks of muscle building and see how I go. Muscle is armour … Continue reading
On the stereo today- The Stone Roses. RIP Mani. I feel a bit silly filling this log in this week, as I was sick a lot of the past 10 days. I’ve had some sort of throat thing for weeks that just wouldn’t go, and eventually it put me down. I still managed to get … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Afghan Whigs I took, or tried to take, last week off training completely. I injured my hip in the Euros and in general, I needed a break to heal and relax a bit.

Monday Mixed Conditioning Work Evening Jiu Jitsu- 45 minutes of 3min rounds with 30s rest. Focusing on pace. Tough evening. Tuesday Nothing. Wednesday Evening … Continue reading
On the stereo today- A bit of 60s and 70s. The Doors, Creedance and Led Zep I’m about 2 weeks out from the flight, and I’m ready to fight now. I’m at that point where it’s annoying to train now. I just want to be there in Rome. It almost feels at this stage like … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Massive Attack This is the first update in 3 weeks. This is because I was running the Shamrock Cup and the Ireland BJJ Invitational. I read this thing about Greta Gerwig, the director of Barbie. She would wear a boiler suit to work every day while directing. Why? Loads of pockets, … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Time Out- The Dave Brubeck Quartet How did these groups come about? Hi, I’m Dave Brubeck, and I’m looking for 3 other guys to play in obscure time signatures. Apply by post.
