Man Vs. Time

Writing a blog is easy, finding time to do that writing is the hard part. But I have my work done for the morning and I’m not training (more on that later) so I have 30 minutes to write now. It’s been a hectic few weeks and we have a hectic few more coming up … Continue reading →

Upcoming MMA events you should go to

Many of you may know that I’ve rejigged the format of my fight team and how I manage the guys I have fighting. Rome wasn’t built in a day but managing the fighters has become a lot easier. Here are the fights I have confirmed for the team in the first half of 2011 so … Continue reading →

The things you love to hate

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve updated thanks to being busy at the European Championships and busy in general. I want to write a post on the things I love to hate about training; that is to say the things I love about training but can’t admit to loving. But first, the European Championships. … Continue reading →

IACC February 27th Application Form for coaches

Vegetable body parts are the way to go… really

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.

My greatests

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 →

Merry Everyone!

I find myself in a great mood tonight. Maybe it’s the snow outside that’s making me feel extra Christmasy, maybe it’s the fact that the boy got his Christmas holidays early today and I can go play in the snow with him tomorrow, or maybe I’m just happy all the time and I’m only noticing … Continue reading →

On Masculinity, Manliness and Manhood

 I’m teaching a kids class tomorrow morning. It’s a lot of fun, especially since it’s not my usual job to teach the younger ones. I get to be the new guy with all the surprises. The regular guy can’t compete with me, they see him too often.   My son will be there, as he … Continue reading →
