At Last – Some Video

Had my first training session on the brand new matted area this morning with Paddy and I have to say they are beautiful. I can’t wait to grapple on them this evening. I am literally going to allow people to pass my guard just to shrimp out. Prepare for gward spinning invertedness, you have been … Continue reading →

MMA and Conditioning

So some updates on my own training, which in spite of the lack of updates in this blog has been ongoing. Basically I’ve delegated the task of making sure I get enough hours in to Will. So not only does he now look after my strength and conditioning, but he’s also going to check my … Continue reading →

Unstable Surfaces, Bosu, Swiss and a load of balls

Fielded a few questions and got into a few arguments on my opinions* on unstable surface stuff on Saturday, and then later with beers on board before and after the UFC. Most of the questions were comical enough without the ensuing arguments. Usually you get two types of opinion on Swiss Balls:Bloke 1- “I think … Continue reading →

I haven’t been as diligent with my updates of late, apologies for that. This month, as you can imagine, is the busiest month of the year for me.

My gym is in someone else's hands tonight

What will I do? I reckon at about 8pm tonight I’ll want to ring and see if everything is okay. Did Paddy get in the door alright? Is everyone taking their shoes off on the mats? Will someone get injurred? Will he know to turn off the lights? The gym is my baby and tonight, … Continue reading →

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 →
