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 →

A Few Updates on the Fight Show

In the last couple of weeks, the hassle of having to organise this show has almost made me want to quit, go home to bed and not bother anymore. Then there are moments like the one yesterday, which made everything seem worthwhile. I was in town, picking up Christmas presents when I came upon a … Continue reading →

Final Week of training ahead

So we’re in week 11 of 12, and the guys are looking and feeling good. I’ll spare a bit of information in this post as the lads are yet to fight so we’ll see how that goes before I really assess things. But here is a rough idea of what I tried to achieve in … Continue reading →

Heard on The Premiership tonight:“Oh poor clearance by Cech. He deserves to be punished!”Interesting insight into one commentator’s secret life. Today was the last day of serious training and sparring. It was a good session, but I watched it with my eyes half shut half expecting to see someone turn their ankle or twist a … Continue reading →
