First Session of 2009 is over

And boy do I feel good about it. Light evening last night, some pads for everyone else in Muay Thai and then some rolling plus some kimura technique in BJJ. Very nice though I made the big mistake of making a chicken curry for dinner which gave me heartburn for the whole night. Overall, an … Continue reading →

Got interviewed before Christmas

Here it is. It never got printed as the article was canned apprently so the guy sent it back to me yesterday. Anyway, I’m sticking it here for posterity. Enjoy. Most people’s experience of martial arts is from Jackie Chan or The Karate Kid! Tell us a bit about the type of martial arts you … Continue reading →

I want more followers

I was looking at my blog and thinking about revamping it, you know, change the colours, themes and so forth. Instead I decided that I want people to click on the follow tab and have their little heads on my blog. I only have two followers, one is Clive so that should actually be “stalker”, … Continue reading →

I think I'm about to burst.

My festive indulgences later, but first a reminder to all my festive readers that we’re back in the gym on Monday 29th from 7 -8(BJJ) and 8-9.30 (MMA), and then on Tuesday 30th from 7-8(BJJ) and 8-9.30 (thai). After that, there’s another wee break to get over the new years celebrations and then back in … Continue reading →

Easily the best thing about Christmas time is the queuing. It’s fantastic. You go out to the shops, you queue to get into the carpark, then you queue to get a space, then you queue for the bank machine. Once you have money to spend, you queue to buy stuff followed swiftly by an intense … Continue reading →

Bah Humbug, I'll do it.

Anyone for privates? After some careful and reflective thought, a few beers and lots of people calling me stupid on Friday, and one of my mates laughing like a fucking hyena on Thursday, I’ve decided that yes, I will take on more personal training in the new year. This comes from taking to a friend … Continue reading →

A bit of an update on my own training

It seems I’m the only one in the gym really training for anything right now. Olli and Keith were the only fighters to show up for training last night as I think everyone is taking a bit of a break after their busy 12 weeks. Who am I to argue? Monday I was back on … Continue reading →

Privates

So, I’m looking for feedback on this one, maybe people can help by commenting. Basically right now I do ‘a few’ privates, with people of, ahem, varying bodytypes. One of the guys is a web developer who makes sites for people who want to sell stuff. He’s overweight, but on his way down quite quickly … Continue reading →

Savage, savage night

And now, the dust has settled, and I feel like a ten tonne weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Firstly I want to say my thanks, then I’ll give a quick review of the night and how it went below. So in no particular order, thanks to:Paul, Pete, Edward, Stephen F, Hugh, Conor, Darragh … Continue reading →

Oops, forgot someone

Amanda: Yeah I forgot about Amanda when I first wrote this which is criminal really. The only thing missing for her was an opponent. I have to be honest here, when she came to me asking for fight I was dubious. It didn’t help that in the first two weeks of serious training nobody would … Continue reading →
