On the stereo today- A bit of 60s and 70s. The Doors, Creedance and Led Zep I’m about 2 weeks out from the flight, and I’m ready to fight now. I’m at that point where it’s annoying to train now. I just want to be there in Rome. It almost feels at this stage like … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Massive Attack This is the first update in 3 weeks. This is because I was running the Shamrock Cup and the Ireland BJJ Invitational. I read this thing about Greta Gerwig, the director of Barbie. She would wear a boiler suit to work every day while directing. Why? Loads of pockets, … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Time Out- The Dave Brubeck Quartet How did these groups come about? Hi, I’m Dave Brubeck, and I’m looking for 3 other guys to play in obscure time signatures. Apply by post.

On the stereo today- Disintegration- The Cure Best album of the 80s? Change my mind kids! Last week was a busy week as I changed up my training ever so slightly.

On the stereo today- anything and everything. After feeling a bit ill the week before, this was a welcome return to normal. Monday A highly busy work day meant that I didn’t train at all.

On the stereo today- Everything must Go- Manic Street Preachers Busy week. Quite happy with how it went. Monday Got robbed of a strength session by an “emergency” meeting I needed to get on. It was, of course, not an emergency. Evening Jiu Jitsu. Positionals and about 4 rounds. Tried to keep my pace high. … Continue reading
This is something I was asked to write about. It seems more suited to here than on the Kyuzo blog. It’s slightly personal, I suppose. I did a project in lockdown (remember that?). I decided I wanted to be on the Concept 2 Indoor Rowing leaderboard. I hadn’t submitted a log on C2, so I … Continue reading
On the stereo today- A Mellow Playlist I put together. Damon Albarn, Led Zep’s Rain Song, Daysleeper by REM, One Hundred Days by Mark Lanegan. Fits my mood this morning. Last week, I was in Venice for a few days, so I didn’t update this log. So this is the week prior plus the last … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Rumours- Fleetwood Mac. My mate always said “best album of all time” about this one. To which I replied “Pet Sounds!”, and then, “Fleetwood Mac is your Da’s music”. But now I’m a full on Dad, I really appreciate this might be among the best ever. I had a good week … Continue reading
