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

Jolly Good

I see people followed my advice and started following my blog. Good show, good chaps, what ho and all that. Now stop following my blog and find something decent to do with your lives. Last night was MMA 101 followed by an MMA sparring class. In the 101 we did clinch surfing, a good drill … 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

Maybe when he's 4

Interesting Evening

Carb depletion, you’ve gotta hate it. You think you don’t need pasta and then you go and do a session like last night’s. Some of the guys are on the cut right now and one or two are slightly above target. One guy in particular has been set a diet to get him waaaaaayyy down, … Continue reading
