No one wants to see a picture of my ear right now, so let’s just say it’s ugly. If you could imagine your epiglottis hanging from your ear hole, then that’s sort of what it looks like. This is from 10 straight days on the mats, constantly taking punishment. I’ve had cauliflower ear before but … Continue reading
It’s the end of a long training week for me and I’m sitting down listening to the stereo and drinking coffee. This has been an excellent week’s training in Informed Performance; the MMA Team had their trials on Thursday night, the teenagers are starting to come of age (literally and figuratively), the first ‘rebooted’ children’s … Continue reading

Happy New Year. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get down to business. I think it’s time I put some markers down. I’m often asked who my favourite fighters are so why not make the first blog post of 2011 a treat. I’ll start with MMA. My current favourite fighter is Jose Aldo. … Continue reading

In the last few weeks the following has happened. A dog, a cute little one, came wandering into the gym one day and I fed it, gave it some water and it was fairly obvious it was lost. I took it home for a couple of nights and looked after it and rang the pound … Continue reading
This post was never meant to be written. I had originally thought that I wouldn’t have the time for the blog this week due to the Fight Before Christmas being on this coming Friday, but the snowy weather outside means that I have a day of doing pretty much nothing. So, lots to catch up … Continue reading
With all this talk of the IMF, the EU and the bailout fund, i’ve decided to make this an economics free zone tonight. I thought you might all appreciate that. So instead of talking about recession and depression, let’s lighten the mood a bit and talk training. Here’s a really funny video: It’s funny because … Continue reading
Well hello there blog fans. According to wordpress statistics, about 1000 less people viewed last week’s post, a fact I’m attributing to not posting a link on facebook. I’m sure in no way did it reflect the fact that I was crabby and moany last week and extremely irritable. I’ve thought long and hard about … Continue reading
