This one is so it shows up in Google when people search. You’ve been duped. YOCAD stands for “Yard Of Cock A Day”. It’s an acronym I came up with when I was working in Informed Performance whenever people would ask me if the GOMAD (Gallon Of Milk A Day) diet was good. I would … Continue reading
We held an all-hands meeting on Wednesday night after training, and as promised to those who couldn’t make it, here are the main points that emerged. Purpose: I called this meeting as we haven’t been getting the attendance or commitment to classes that we’d all like to see, whether you’re a coach or athlete. Having … Continue reading
I ran a first of it’s kind tournament on Saturday. I tweeted on Saturday night that I felt a bit like Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams. Well, I built it, and the competitors came, but regrettably the audience didn’t. All in all just about 45 people paid in to watch Chris Bowe lift the … Continue reading
Yesterday on my facebook profile I wrote a comment about the amount of “Elite” training centres opening. Within about an hour I regretted posting it. It’s the sort of passive-aggressive bullshit that I try to stay away from generally, never mind on the internet. Sure enough it prompted responses ranging from the equally passive-aggressive to … Continue reading
I woke up this morning thinking about John Frum. That name probably won’t be familiar to you, and I was stumped for a little while as to why it was in my head. Don’t look him up in the phone book mind you, because John Frum doesn’t exist. You may have heard this story before, … Continue reading
There’s been a lot of talk in internet land lately of Fat Taxes and sporting cultures. I’ve been responding to various topics on them because it’s something I feel quite strongly about, though in general I try not to get into topics and arguments on the internet anymore since it’s a colossal waste of my … Continue reading
First of all, I was amazed to see the final of the -76kg ADCC at the weekend, Leo Viera versus Marcelo Garcia. This was a final that could have happened 5 years ago, never mind 2011. Marcelo’s game is just amazing, I never tire of watching him grapple. To see him back on the podium … Continue reading
Thanks to the good folk at The Daily Mash for injecting a bit of humour into the “crisis” in MMA at the moment. http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/opinion/columnists/the-first-rule-of-toddler-fight-club-is…-2007042180/ For those of you who haven’t yet seen this particular storm in a teacup, let me illuminate it for you. On Tuesday, The Sun, Sky News and the BBC ran a … Continue reading
I took a trip outside Kyuzo this morning. I have builders in my gym working on the passageway to the dojo proper, so I had nowhere to train despite having not one but 2 training partners for once in the morning. I had some work to do from home but nothing major and I had … Continue reading
I was at the Irish BJJ Cup at the weekend, but not competing. I’d been off the mat for about 5 days with my neck and limited to only light work. I’ve learned from experience that realistically I get 2 weeks hard training and one week light. I didn’t really do the light week thanks … Continue reading
