If I asked a selection of people why they trained in martial arts, I’m sure that many of them would come out with the classic “self defence” line. It’s a motivation for many and a massive, massive selling point for those wishing to make money from teaching the martial arts. What, after all, is more … Continue reading
Today was a light day filled with tiredness, ass dragging, wrestling, trying to stay awake, and fitting shelves. That list is not in order. I have to warn you that if you want to read on about my training, you should skip the next, very long, paragraph. I’ve been accused of being perspicacious in the … Continue reading
But it’s okay, I’ve replaced him
Last night actually wasn’t less than what I expected, it was more. That title is just a witty line. The BJJ session last night was actually excellent, a real 5 star session. All in all we did 9×5 minute rounds with 1 minute rest in between and a small technique break in the middle. My … Continue reading
I just can’t wait to roll tonight. There were 21 folks at BJJ on Monday and if only 50% of those turn up for tonight’s class then there will be 10.5 people to roll with, which is more than enough for me. I’ll probably warm up by rolling with the half person and then move … Continue reading

BJJ is just the best sport in the world, and here’s why. Number 1. You get to stay indoors. This is good in Ireland as let’s face it, the climate is miserable. Number 2, you get to wrestle people. This is also good. Number 3, your training partners love it for the same reasons you … Continue reading
But it’s not work if you enjoy it. Yesterday was Saturday, and the best way of describing Saturday morning workouts would be intense. Amanda came in at 10am, she’s training for a fight on Cage Contender and yesterday was a sparring/heavy conditioning day for her. I took her through some padwork followed by 3 rounds of technical MMA working on tactics. There’s … Continue reading
Quiet day yesterday. Did some coaching work with a school in the morning and I’m not ashamed to say that my ass was dragging once the caffeine wore off which was luckily after I’d finished coaching. Coaching kids is great fun. Sure you get the odd moany teen with no interest in what you’re doing, but … Continue reading
