I really, really, really love Jiu Jitsu. Words alone cannot explain how much I love to wrestle, so I won’t waste any more on trying to express that. Last night I rolled for the first time in a month or so and it felt great to be back…. for two rounds. Then it started to … Continue reading
Finally, no more posters stuck on the door. I wanted to say a quick good luck to Paddy who fights in Cork this Saturday. If I’d remembered on Tuesday I would have made a bigger thing about it but I saw him yesterday morning so I forgot Tuesday was going to be the last session … Continue reading
Honestly, he arrived during the summer wearing pink all the time, which I thought was funny enough. And then last night he turns up in his full Chemical Biological Nuclear suit. Words fail me. He also seems to be not in the slightest bit embarrassed about it. I’d go so far as to say he … Continue reading
Take one sheet of plywood, one ruler, a measuring tape, a jigsaw, a 51mm holesaw, a pencil and some sandpaper. Then add a bit of patience and another trip to B&Q after you fuck up the size on your first attempt, you have two bumper plates weighing approx 1.5kgs each, though I’ll have to stick … Continue reading
I’ve just spent a really interesting weekend being taught how to lift again by an Olympic silver medalist. It’s not often you can say that you were in a room with someone who holds one of those precious items, and even rarer that he’s willing to show you everything he knows, so naturally I thought … Continue reading

Did anyone hear the torrent of abuse that came out of the Kiddie Krippler’s mouth last night? I thought I was making a very good point about pressure in the knee on belly position but in fact all people are going to remember is that he thinks I’m a dickhead and so on. Maybe he … Continue reading
No session yesterday, but one tonight. I’ll be doing a strength test with the teenagers tonight. Whenever I say things like that, immediately people climb upon their high horses. Why shoudl kids strength test, blah blah blah immoral blah blah strength training stunts growth blah blah. Which is of course absolute bullshit, but for some … Continue reading
Isn’t it great to have team mates? Here’s Olli doing his pull ups pre-training and the lads are only too happy to give him all the support he needs… as long as they don’t have to get off their asses and the couch. Yous is excluded from this criticism as he was working in with … Continue reading
This week is an unload week, which means no circuits, no conditioning, a tiny bit of strength work and lots of light sparring and technique work. Unloads, for those who don’t know what they are, are vital for preventing injury, and can probably be best described as fun. Basically they’re the easy week in your … Continue reading
