Ah yes teenage years. The moaning, complaining, back talking, grumpy hormonal years we all look back on and wish we could do again, but when we were there all we wanted to do was get them over with. Firstly I’ll give you a quick bit of my history with sport in my teens. I quit … Continue reading
Someone I know sent me this post that I wrote in reply to a topic on a fitness board. I don’t remember writing it but here it is, and it was on my account so…. enjoy, I suppose. Quote: Originally Posted by donstavros Looks like you need to start putting on weight…. bulk up on … Continue reading
The below is an open address to anyone who competes, or harbours some desire to compete for our team in the future. I had a little word with someone for coming off the mats with a knock last night. The lad in question is a good lad, and I almost feel sorry that he has … Continue reading
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I spend a good hour prepping the sessions for that evening. I have 4 classes on tonight, one kid’s (the hardest to prep for), one teen’s (second hardest), one senior ground (3rd) and one senior standup, (easiest). I’ll do a bit of an add on to each blog entry during the … Continue reading
Loadsa clinch and takedowns this evening. Some people were a bit perturbed when I asked them to remove their tops but I think everyone got the point of the exercise… to embarrass, humiliate and so on. Seriously though it was to make sure that we replicate fight conditions as much as possible. A slippery opponent … Continue reading

A quick note on this video. It’s not the comlete warm up as today the guys were hitting the road for the session detailed below almost immediately. For MMA or other combat sessions the warm up is longer and a little more intense and would be followed by squats, … Continue reading
There’s a line in Born on the Fourth of July that you may or may not know. Tom Cruise’s character is arguing with his mother when he whips out his catheter (he’s paralysed at this stage) and shouts “Penis Mom!” repeatedly. It’s supposed to be a harrowing, awful scene about his emasculation during the war … Continue reading
Go tapaidh! I went for a quick 7ks last night. I haven’t been out on the roads in ages for one reason or another and I had a sore elbow yesterday that prevented me from lifting weights (couldn’t even squat!) so I decided to have an evening run instead. Running in the winter is much … Continue reading
Okay so I got to thinking about the whole back in the day business that I put in this post, and I’ve decided that this coming Monday night will be Old Skool night. What does that mean? Well you can expect to learn a simple armbar, then beat the living shit out of each other … Continue reading
I suffer from occasional bouts of insomnia, but only really when I’m doing things like organising a fight show, trying to sell my house and buy a new one, and dealing with the tax man. Like right now for example. If anyone wants to take pity on me and my tax bill they can leave … Continue reading
