Check out my feet at the lockout, very funny. Basically this time about 9 months ago I was all blown out, feeling like maybe the … Continue reading
Not that I’ll be crying into my cornflakes, but this week is the last week of classes in KO Martial Arts. It’s been two years since we moved into these premises and at the time they represented such a huge change from the old hall we were renting. In a few weeks time we’ll probably … Continue reading
It’s a long time since I’ve thought about this, but a few things have been put to me over the past few weeks that have made me consider the phenomenon of belts and such in martial arts, and indeed the whole concept of external validation in coaching. This whole concept is a silly mess, and … Continue reading
More on Operation Abs at the end of this post. There’s a good discussion on weightlifting technique going on here. Some really good coaches read Will’s blog so there’s always some nuggets of info in the comments. I haven’t even attempted an Olympic lift for about 8 months except for some technical work at a … Continue reading

I’ll follow the last very high brow post with some multimedia madness. Yes, I have video to show you. And don’t worry, only one of them has me in it. Firstly, someone was asking me about skipping and how to do it and make it less “boring”. Well I can’t show you how to skip … Continue reading
Now THAT is a blog title. Of course, it’s not my work, it’s a term to describe collectivism which is in fact the colossal bee in my bonnet of late, and since you’re too bored to do anything else, now it’ll be the bee in your bonnet for the next few minutes. In the course … Continue reading
Firstly apologies to my avid reader. I haven’t been able to update due to a lack of access to this here “interweb” and also just being too busy. This is actually going to be a monster post as I’m not sure when I’ll be able to post again. I really am that busy. The New … Continue reading
I showed at the gym last night and was greeted with this:There are a few things I absolutely despise and one of them is a lack of respect for other people’s property. I wouldn’t mind but the next user of this gear could well be the people who just flung it in the general direction … Continue reading
I’d like to apologise for that here and now. Things have been pretty mental at chez Barry, so mental in fact that there no longer is a chez Barry. I sold my house last week and I’m waiting to move into the new one so I’m actually posting this from my parent’s home. Eh, yipee. … Continue reading
